Synthesis of TiC by controlled ball milling of titanium and carbon

Synthesis of copper–niobium carbide composite powder by in situ processing

“…In fact, these Nb peaks nearly disappear after the powders were milled for 42 h and 54 h due to the refinement of Nb particles. Another possible reason for the broadening of Nb peaks after milling up to 54 h is strain [6]. Moreover, the Nb peaks are broader than Cu peaks because Nb particles experienced more refinement than Cu particles.…”

Microstructural characterization of nanocrystalline chromium carbides synthesized by high energy ball milling

“…The synthesis of intermetallic compounds such as molybdenum silicides [22,23] and titanium carbides [24,25] by ball milling have been reported by different authors. The formation reactions of these intermetallics (including chromium carbide) are exothermic reactions with a big negative heat of formation for the chromium carbide case (Eqs.…”

On Ti-18Si-6B and Ti-7.5Si-22.5B powder alloys prepared by high-energy ball milling and sintering

“…Some non-equilibrium processes have been developed, and ball milling turns to be the mostly used due to its simplicity, low cost and possibility of large-scale production. Ball milling also achieves good chemical and structural homogeneity, as well as control of the powder composition [11][12][13][14][15][16] . However, poor densification and undesirable grain growth may occur due to interparticle friction, surface contaminants and fine powders.…”
