“…As in the case of some materials like Ti, Ni, or Al, accumulation of milled powders on the milling container walls was found to be quite heavy [17,18], so it could be accepted as an alternative deposition method of coatings. Papers in this area published so far describe such a possibility as the formation of coatings by mechanical alloying [8,9,10,11,12], mechanical milling [13,19] or mechanical attrition treatment [20,21]. The first one is the most popular as it points toward tools used for their production, though it did not refer to the mechanism of coating deposition and, in the case of their formation from alloyed powders, it could be misleading (none of alloying processes are involved).…”
