Formation of a Continuous Series of Тi–Сr–Fe BCC Solid Solutions in Mixing of a Powder Mixture in a Planetary-Ball Mill

Abstract

The paper examines the formation of a continuous series of titanium and chromium solid solutions with iron admixture in grinding in an AIR-015M planetary-ball mill. A non-equilibrium cubic β-titanium phase forms under intensive milling of titanium and chromium powders due to decrease in the grain size to nanoscale at relatively low temperatures. A continuous series of titanium–chromium bcc solid solutions is obtained owing to intensive milling in an AIR-015M planetary-ball mill and favorable conditions for the formation of a non-equilibrium structure of titanium.
