Abstract

Recently, a new method, i.e., a plasma jet method, was developed in our lab for the production of ultrafine powders. In the present work, we investigated the formation of binary Al–Fe, Al–Si, Fe–Si, Al–Cu, Al–Ni, Ni–Ti, Fe–Cu, and Fe–Ti ultrafine powders using this method. Premixed pure elemental powders of various compositions of Al–Fe, Al–Si, Fe–Si, Al–Cu, Al–Ni, Ni–Ti, Fe–Cu, and Fe–Ti were used as starting materials. These premixed powders were injected into the plasma jet of Ar–N2 working gas to form ultrafine powders. The obtained ultrafine powders were characterized by x-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscope to check the microstructures of ultrafine particles.
