Ls. Vasiliyev et Sf. Lomayeva, The mechanism of superplasticity of nanosize structure finely dispersed powders prepared by mechanical milling in liquid hydrocarbon environments, PHYS LOW-D, 3-4, 2001, pp. 309-320
Studied in the present paper are the mechanisms limiting the dispersity of
powdered systems prepared by mechanical activation. The most efficient mech
anism has been demonstrated to be the transition of the powder particles to
superplasticity after which further milling stops completely. The processe
s of both transition to superplasticity and milling have been described thr
ough the concept of macrodislocations. The estimates of the parameters of t
he finest dispersity of the powders prepared by the technique in question h
ave been obtained.
