Formation of metastable phase equilibrium and amorphisation in Al26Zr74 alloy by gas atomization and by further mechanical alloying

At the present day, the mechanical alloying of certain metallic components is actually a single method of obtaining a material with the required level of physical and chemical characteristics. Zr-Al system alloys are the pers pective getter materials. The level of getter properties depends on the str uctural phase state of the produced specimens. The highly dispersive and am orphous materials have the highest level of getter properties. (C) 1999 Pub lished by Elsevier Science Ltd on behalf of International Association for H ydrogen Energy.
