Solid state amorphisation in binary systems prepared by mechanical alloying

Al–Ni intermetallic composites produced in situ by friction stir processing

“…Thus, the advantageous properties can practically be utilized in a structural material and the ductility of matrix material can avoid its brittle shortcoming. In the past few years, various researches have been made to fabricate these Al-Al 3 Ni composites by directionally solidification [7], equal-channel angular pressing [8], electromagnetic separation method [9] and mechanical alloying [10].…”

Calculation of glass forming ranges in Al–Ni–RE (Ce, La, Y) ternary alloys and their sub-binaries based on Miedema's model

“…Especially, Miedema's model [15] has been used to calculate the standard formation enthalpies of intermetallics [16,17] and liquid alloys [18], to predict phase-diagram thermodynamics [19,20], phase stability of mechanical alloying [21,22], glass forming abilities [23][24][25][26], and even interfacial behaviors [27]. In some earlier studies [24][25][26], glass forming ranges of ternary alloys have been calculated by comparing the formation enthalpies between amorphous and crystalline states using Miedema's model, and some interesting results have been obtained.…”

Fabrication of Friction Stir Processed Al-Ni Particulate Composite and Its Impression Creep Behaviour

“…Composite fabrication using friction stir processing route is reviewed by Arora et al [6]. Surface engineering by FSP of Al with Ni powder is an interesting area [7][8][9], because it can give rise to many important phases which are stable at high temperature [5,[10][11][12].…”
