Amorphization of Mn carbides by rapid quenching method has been proved
to be unsuccessful. By mechanical milling in the present work, amorph
ous phases have been formed in the perovskite-type Mn(3)AIC compound.
The transformation process from crystalline to amorphous phase was fou
nd to be milling time controlled, and 10 h is a critical period for th
e macroscopically single amorphous phase to form. It has been clarifie
d that the redistribution of C atoms is an instinctive factor for amor
phous phase to nucleate, and the atomic configuration in the amorphous
phase is changed much in longer milling that different crystallizing
behaviours have been caused. With X-ray diffraction and differential s
canning calorimetry (DSC) results, an atomic configuration transition
model is considered for the structures of the amorphous phases changed
during milling.
