abstract

  • The present study uses the mechanical alloying method to produce series of binary to senary alloys based on Ni, Co, Al, Fe, Cu, Cr. Milling times are 0, 10, 20 and 30 h and experiments are performed in a high energy ball mill. The results of this investigation show that an FCC solid solution is formed in all the studied systems, but a different phase formation response is presented in each system. A mixture of FCC and BCC solid solutions in quaternary to senary systems, is formed for short milling times. Apparently, the dissolution rate of Fe and Cr into the FCC solid solution, is low. Moreover, it is observed that additions of these elements promote the formation of BCC solid solution, which is stable at temperatures up to -1273 K. Finally, it is observed that the heat treated products present a mixture of FCC and BCC solid solutions with lattice parameters close to those found in the milled products. © 2010 Elsevier B.V.
