Alternative method in the synthesis of metal alloys José Luis Iturbe-García

The mechanical alloying technique is a simple method used to synthesize new metal compounds unlike conventional methods such as thermal induction melting, where the elements are prevented from reaching high temperatures in their preparation and as a result form vapors that can harm the health of operators. The high energy mechanical alloying process can be used as an alternative method in the preparation of this type of compounds. With the mechanical high-energy alloying technique, compounds are obtained by means of mechanisms that are completely different from conventional methods. To prepare metal alloys, the type of mill used in each investigation should be considered. The description in the preparation of specific alloys can help technicians and researchers who wish to prepare metallic alloys in an easy and simple way using the technique of high energy mechanical milling.
