Al1-xWx(x = 0.1, 0.2, 0.5, 0.9) powders have been prepared by mechanical al
loying of the elements in a planetary ball mill. The structure and morpholo
gy of the milled powders were investigated using X-ray diffraction and elec
tron microscopy. The solubility of Al in W is greatly extended, even more t
han 50%. The results are analyzed using embedded atom method (EAM) accordin
g to the scheme of mechanical alloying extending solid solubility. The theo
retical results are in good agreement with the experimental.
