Abstract

Mechanical alloying, a high-energy ball-milling technique, is now widely used for preparing alloy powders with metastable phases (crystalline or amorphous). The technique, however, may contaminate the powder with material eroded from the vial and milling media. We report on the analysis and effects of iron contamination on Al25Ge75 powders that we prepared by mechanically alloying mixtures of aluminum and germanium powders, using different mechanical alloying apparatuses.
