Mechanical attrition, thus, the mechanical alloying or milling of powders is known to be a very useful and powerful method of obtaining nanocrystalline or ultrafine grain structures with enhanced properties [4,5].
This is because of several factors, including: process simplicity; it requires relatively inexpensive equipment (on the laboratory scale); its economic viability; it is applicable to basically all classes of materials; MA has a number of technical advantages and it can be scaled up easily.
However, a number of solutions have also been suggested to minimize/avoid contamination completely.
Intermediate Crystalline Phases: A number of titanium-based intermediate phases (including intermetallic compounds) have been produced by MA.
Peak broadening indicates reduction in the grain sizes.

Samples were taken every thirty minutes to measure specific surface, and to make X-ray phase analysis; stoichiometric deviations in titanium carbide were determined on Debye powder pattern according to [11] procedure, and estimation of grain-size distribution of the obtained material.
Further, grain-size distribution, specific surface of the material under grinding, X-ray phase analysis, and stoichiometry on Debye powder pattern were identified.
The material was passed through the grinding chamber for a certain number of times to frame general grinding distances of 1, 2, and 3 m.
A curve of state density N(E) is universal for stoichiometric titanium monocarbide with B1 structure (a model of a “rigid” zone); as for the Fermi level, its state is determined by means of equality between the number of occupied states and the number of peripheral electrons Z within elementary cell depending on Z only.

One of the ways to solve this problem is the use of composite binders (KV), which allows to exclude a number of additives from the composition of the mixtures, as well as to provide the required physical, mechanical and rheological properties along with a decrease in the cement content.

With increasing number of AsGa and MnI, the hole concentration and consequently the Curie temperature of GaMnAs decreases.
The authors, however, found that above a critical hole concentration g=nh/xMn, the Curie temperature is only weakly sensitive to the number of As anti-sites.
It therefore was concluded that surface VZn in the ZnO nano-grains are the origin of the ferromagnetic properties.
Consequently, the ferromagnetic properties in this composite are not related to the interface defects of the grains.

Mechanical vibration shows the remarkable effect on dendrite fragmentation, grain refinement, flow of metal, shrinkage cavity improvement, porosity and casting performance, which have been proven in the studies of F.Taghavi, H.Saghafian, Zhao Jianhua, Jiang Fan, etc[6-12].
Once the fluid is convergent or the maximum number of iterations is reached, the EDEM will run automatically.
For a certain period of time, the number of filling particles n in the complex cavity or difficult filling position is investigated to obtain the influence of different vibration parameters.
The number of particles n in the region is investigated in order to obtain the optimum scheme of the maximum number of particles.
The Orthogonal test is used to see the influence of the number of filling particles in the inspection area upon sensitive degree of DOF, frequency and amplitude.

Among the different categories of laser surface treatment processes, laser hardening and laser melting are the simplest, since no supplementary materials are added, and they are particularly effective for processing ferrous alloys with grain refinement and uniformity of the acquired structure are the outcome.
In fact, these processes have been employed for improving the erosion and corrosion resistance of a number of ferrous alloys [6,7].
Unlike the nearly equiaxed ferrite grains microstructure of the as-received samples as shown in Fig. 2(a), the microstructure of the LH samples is composed of three regions based on their different microstructures the hardened zone (HZ), the heat affected zone (HAZ) and base metal zone (BM) as revealed in Fig. 2(b).
The SEM micrographs (Fig. 3) show that the HZ consists of acicular martensite, whereas the HAZ contains martensite, carbide particles, MnS inclusions, and minor content of initial ferrite grain structures.

The number of the primary beam particles hitting the sample
was measured to ~1% by a secondary monitor.
The analysis of the oxide powders at annealing times (DVt) ½ << r allows one to measure the exchange frequency Γ on the surface: ,exp13)( 1 0 rt CtC (4) where the superscribed bar denotes an averaging over the grain sizes.
Moreover, using (3) it is possible to determine the volume diffusion coefficients DV over the temperature interval where the problem cannot be solved for coarse-grain or monocrystalline samples.
It is proved the sensitivity of traditional isotope methods is considerably improved here and fundamentally new methodical opportunities appear to study processes at the 'gas medium - solid' interface, as well as volume and grain-boundary diffusion in polycrystals.

(4) Choose coarse aggregate grading with less maximal grain size.
Adam Neville et al suggest [2]: that the smaller the maximal grain size is, the smaller the stress difference of interface between aggregate and slurry will be.
In addition, the strength of the small aggregate grain is higher than that of coarse one, because the maximal crack controlling the strength is eliminated during rock crushing
