Abstract

In recent years researches on properties of nanocrystalline materials in comparison with coarse-grained materials has attracted a great deal of attention. The present investigation has been based on production of nanocrystalline Ti6Al4V powder by means of high energy mechanical milling. In this regard, Ti6Al4V powder was produced by ball milling of machining scraps of Ti6Al4V. The structural and morphological changes of powders were investigated by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and microhardness measurements. The results revealed that ball milling process reduced the size of the coherent-scattering region of Ti6Al4V to approximately 20 nm. Also a remarkable change in morphology and particle size was occurred during ball milling. Moreover, phase evolution during milling was taken into consideration. The as-milled Ti6Al4V powder exhibited higher microhardness comparing to the original samples.
