Synthesis of diamond reinforced Al-Mg Nanocrystalline composite powder using ball milling

摘要

This report is a summary of the initial research done with Al 4wt% Mg nanocrystalline alloy, obtained by mechanical alloying in liquid N{sub}2, reinforced with diamond nano sized particles (4-5 nm). At this stage, the cryomilling conditions have been optimized to obtain a nanoerystalline alloy powder and to effectively incorporate the diamond reinforcement particles. Additionally, the adopted process ensures efficiency in particle distribution.
