Title: Microstructural evolution of nanostructured Ti{sub 0.7}Ni{sub 0.3}N prepared by reactive ball-milling

Abstract

Graphical abstract: - Highlights: • α-Ti to β-Ti phase conversion is observed during 1 h of milling. • Ti{sub 0.7}Ni{sub 0.3}N (fcc) phase is noticed to form after 1 h of milling. • Formation time of Ti(Ni,N) phase is same as TiN phase. • Both X-ray and HRTEM microstructure characterization revealed similar results. - Abstract: Nanocrystalline stoichiometric Ti{sub 0.7}Ni{sub 0.3}N powder has been synthesized by ball-milling the α-Ti (hcp) and Ni (fcc) powders under N{sub 2} gas at room temperature. The α-Ti phase partially transforms to the transient (-Ti phase after 1 h of milling. After 5.5 h of milling, very broad reflections of Ti{sub 0.7}Ni{sub 0.3}N phase is noticed. Complete formation of Ti{sub 0.7}Ni{sub 0.3}N phase is observed after 9 h of milling. Microstructure in terms of lattice imperfections of unmilled and all ball-milled powder mixtures are primarily characterized by analyzing the X-ray powder diffraction patterns employing the Rietveld structure refinement procedure. It clearly reveals the presence of Ti{sub 0.7}Ni{sub 0.3}N phase and inclusion of nitrogen atoms into the α-Ti–Ni matrix on the way to formation of nitride phase. Microstructure of the ball milled nitride powders is also characterized by HRTEM. Particle size of Ti{sub 0.7}Ni{sub 0.3}N phase obtainedmore » from XRD method of characterization is ∼5 nm which is very close to that obtained from HRTEM.« less
