Nanocrystalline Cu90Nb10 Alloy Produced by Mechanical Alloying

Abstract:

Nanocrystalline Cu90Nb10 alloy was produced by high energy ball milling mechanical alloying (MA). The effects of ball milling time on the microstructure and mechanical property of this alloy in the process of MA were investigated. The results show: up to 10 at.% Nb could be dissolved into Cu matrix by MA; the powder particles became compacted and homogeneous with increasing the ball milling time, and the deformation degree also increased synchronously; the grain size of this alloy was refined gradually, and it reached the minimum value of 11.5 nm after 30h milling; the microhardness of this alloy increased with increasing the milling time, and it obtained the maximum value of 328 Hv after 30h milling. The obvious reinforcement of this alloy may be due to the comprehensive effects of the fine grain strengthening, the solid solution strengthening and the strain strengthening.
