Hydriding processes of Mg and Zr alloys by reactive milling

Synthesis and Optimization of the Sintering Kinetics of Actinide Nitrides

“…However, as previously stated, TiN, BN, ZrN, and Fe 3 N have been produced by reactive ball milling the respective metals in a nitrogen or ammonia milling atmospher [79][80][81][82][83][84][85][86][87][88][89][90].…”

“…The only reports found for nitriding metals are those discussing the synthesis of TiN, BN, ZrN, and Fe 3 N in a nitrogen or ammonia milling atmosphere [79][80][81][82][83][85][86][87][88][89][90]. The work presented in this report is the first that has been documented demonstrating the direct nitridation of dysprosium and cerium metal via a mechanical ball milling route [92].…”

Hydriding kinetics and process parameters in reactive milling

“…In the following the values of I M are quoted for each of the trials. Complete details of the above procedure to characterize the key parameters of the mechanical treatments, as well as of the volumetric apparatus developed to carry out the hydriding processes under milling, are reported in the references [9,12,13].…”

“…Different characteristic behaviours emerged, which were exemplified by two well known hydrogen storage systems [9,10], Mg 2 Ni/Ni composites and Zr-based quaternary alloys. While nanostructured Mg 2 Ni/Ni alloy was able to absorb H 2…”

Mechanochemical hydrogenation of ZrCuAlNi based powders

“…Following some preliminary reports [12][13][14], the aim of this paper is to provide some accounts on the effects of the milling conditions on the absorption kinetics and to compare the results in an absolute scale as usually done in thermally activated processes. Indeed, little information on the kinetics of transformation during grinding is available.…”
