Overview

Unique in bringing about a solid-state reaction at room temperature, mechanical alloying produces powders and compounds difficult or impossible to obtain by conventional techniques. Immediate and cost-effective industry applications of the resulting advanced materials are in cutting tools and high performance aerospace products such as metal matrix amor and turbine blades. This book is a guided introduction to mechanical alloying, covering material requirements, equipment, processing, and engineering properties and characteristics of the milled powders. Chapters 3 and 4 treat the fabrication of nanophase materials and nanophase composite materials. Chapter 8 provides extensive coverage of metallic glass substances. This book is ideal for materials scientists in industry, research, design, and processing, and plant engineers in the cutting tools and aerospace industries, as well as senior level students in metallurgical and mechanical materials engineering. This book will especially benefit metallurgists unacquainted with ball milling fabrication. Key Features: Thoroughly explains the concepts of solid-state reaction for synthesizing alloys and compounds at room temperature. Contains step-by-step guide to performing mechanical alloying processes. 184 tables and graphs illustrate the milling processes and present the properties and characteristics of the resulting materials. Includes examples of typical, selected advanced materials including the cubic form of silicon carbide (beta SiC), a promising wide bandgap semiconductor for high temperature, high frequency, high power electronic devices and metallic glass.
