Mechanical Alloying
Mechanical Alloying is a solid-state powder processing technique used to create new materials. It involves repeatedly fracturing and welding metal powders in a high-energy ball mill. This process allows for the mixing of different metals or compounds at the atomic level, leading to the formation of alloys with unique properties.
The technique is particularly useful for producing materials that are difficult to melt or mix using traditional methods. Mechanical Alloying can enhance the strength, hardness, and other characteristics of the resulting alloys, making them suitable for various applications in industries such as aerospace and automotive.
