In the equilibrium processing methods the system Al-C does not show any solid solubility which means that carbon is not soluble in aluminum. In this work an investigation of mechanical alloying on system Al-C was presented to force the dissolution. Using different techniques such as the X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), it was proved the force of dissolution by studying the specters for different milling time and by flowing the evolution during annealing into a DSC. Furthermore, morphology of phases has been studied.
The object of our research is to combine the properties of Mangalloys and nanoscale advantages in order to enhance the performance and extend the range of applications in the field of work-hardening parts such as railroad components, armor, and modern auto components. We have produced a high-manganese austenitic steel nanomaterial containing more than 12 wt% Mn, which is the level of Mn in Hadfield steel. This study experimentally determined the process of phase transitions involved in Fe–13 wt% Mn–1.2 wt% C alloy during mechano-synthesis and after subsequent annealing. The milling time ranged from 0.5 to 24 h. The unique features of the nanocrystalline structure and the changes in microstructure as a function of milling time were investigated by X-ray diffraction analysis, differential scanning calorimetry, and scanning electron microscopy coupled with EDX. The grain sizes and microstrain of the milled powder were determined. A thorough study has been done on the sample where a new phase fcc (at 24h of MA) was formed.The object of our research is to combine the properties of Mangalloys and nanoscale advantages in order to enhance the performance and extend the range of applications in the field of work-hardening parts such as railroad components, armor, and modern auto components.

The Al-Al 4 C 3 nanocomposite was produced via mechanical alloying of Al 6 wt% C mixture for a predetermined time (up to 20 h), followed by annealing. The structural evolution was characterised via X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscope equipped with electron energy loss spectrometer. In addition, focused ion beam-scanning electron microscopy was used for locating and analysing the reinforcing particles. During milling, the size of aluminium particles reached the nanometre scale with a 54 nm size. After annealing, carbide was homogeneously distributed in the nanostructured aluminium particles with an average size of 50 nm, result in an average hardness of 320 HV. This was observed for the powder that was mechanically milled for 20 h and that underwent annealing from room temperature to 540°C and was maintained at this temperature for 4 h.
