Abstract

In the present paper, we discuss the local atomic environment of Fe atoms in the mechanically alloyed Fe50Al40Ni10 powders on the basis of hyperfine data estimated from 57Fe Mössbauer spectra. Bhf decreases with increasing milling time due to the diffusion of Al and/or Ni into Fe grains. Nickel atoms did not diffuse inside the first coordination sphere of Fe and if the diffusion takes place the number is not more than one atom. Analyses of P(Bhf), indicate that the high hyperfine field values ranging from 30 to 33T have to be partially attributed to Fe crystalline nanograins and the presence of the defects in them, the hyperfine field values ranging from 15 to 30T can be associated to the nanocrystalline bcc Fe(Al, Ni) solid solution while the low hyperfine field values (<15T) result from Fe atoms located in the disordered grain boundaries.
