The present book surveys the vast field of Mechanical Alloying (MA) (and the related techniques) from a scientific and technological point of view. The organization of the book progresses logically from the historical perspective of the technique, through a description of the process, different metastable effects produced, mechanisms of phase formation, to applications of mechanically alloyed products. The book comprises 19 chapters.
This book is primarily intended for use by graduate students and research personnel involved with this technique of powder processing. Industry personnel connected with the production and characterization of mechanically alloyed products, and wishing to exploit these materials for potential applications will also find this book very useful in understanding the basic scientific features. Scientists beginning their research work in this area can also find this book helpful from the clear introduction to the several different topics (the mills, process variables, methods of characterization of mechanically alloyed powders, types of phases that could be produced, etc.) and also the detailed explanations of the various aspects associated with this technique. Persons involved in the non-equilibrium processing of materials in general will also benefit from a comparison of this technique with other techniques.
