Abstract
The microscopic nature of mechanically alloyed powders has been investigated using the 57Fe and 119Sn Mossbauer spectroscopy. The following alloy systems have been treated by a low-energy ball mill; Al-Fe, Fe-Sn, Ag-Fe, Fe-C and Fe-B. To understand the elementary process of kneading, the repeated rolling method has been employed for the Al-Fe system and compared with the results from the ball-milling method. Pure Fe powders have also been ball-milled in order to understand the effects of heavy deformation using the same conditions and investigated by the 57Fe Mossbauer spectroscopy. Hyperfine interaction parameters obtained show that atomic dispersion and the formation of an amorphous, non-equilibrium solid solution and intermetallic compounds occur during mechanical alloying. From the experimental findings for each powder the characteristic features of the mechanical alloying process have been discussed.
