Keywords

Abstract

This chapter introduces the novel method of mechanochemical synthesis as an effective method for synthesizing metal powders in the nanocrystalline state. After introducing the basic principles of the process, process parameters that affect the constitution and microstructure of the processed powders are discussed. The mechanisms of alloying and grain refinement are also described. Methods for achieving the smallest possible grain size are highlighted. Current problems associated with the consolidation of powders to bulk shape are described. The ubiquitous problem of powder contamination during milling and solutions to eliminate or minimize this are also emphasized. © 2013 Woodhead Publishing Limited All rights reserved.
