Abstract:
The process of mechannical alloying of elemental powder mixtures of Fe
xSi
1-x (X=0.30~0.75)is studied with a high energy planetary ball milling.After the structure analasis of powders at different milling time,it showed that nanocrystal αFe(Si)Solid solution(bcc)was formed during the milling of Fe
75si
25 powders,the lattice spacing and grain size of αFe(Si)decreased with increase of milling time.The milling products of Fe
50si
50 and Fe
30si
70 were FeSi compounds and three phases mixture α+FeSi+βFeSi
2,respectively.There was no amorphous product in the studying composition range and a thermodynamics analysis was perfermed.
