B. Huang et al., MECHANICALLY INDUCED CRYSTALLIZATION OF METGLAS FE78B13SI9 DURING CRYOGENIC HIGH-ENERGY BALL-MILLING, Nanostructured materials, 5(5), 1995, pp. 545-553
Nanocrystalline structures with crystallite size of approximately 2 nm
were synthesized during cryogenic ball milling in liquid nitrogen. Th
e crystallization kinetics, studied using differential scanning calori
metry (DSC), revealed a sigmoidal transformation curve, which may be d
escribed by a Johnson-Mehl-Avrami relation. Mechanisms of the mechanic
al crystallization during cryogenic ball milling were found to be rela
ted to bending and wear-like events during milling.
