Molybdenum powders were high-energy ball milled for 3, 6, 9 and 12 h respectively, using two ball milling methods: (1) dry milled in vacuum and (2) wet milled in mixed solution of ethanol-polyethylene glycol. The effect of high-energy ball milling on relative density of titanium-zirconium-molybdenum (TZM) alloy was investigated. Particle size distribution and calculated proportion in each size range were designed according to the Dinger-Funk model, reaching the dense packing state. The effects of three different kinds of carbon source (graphite, stearic acid (C 18 H 36 O 2 ) and carbon nanotubes (CNTs)) on oxygen content and relative density were analyzed. The effects of carbon source on oxygen content were studied. After high-energy milling, fine molybdenum alloy powder particles and large amounts of dislocations and vacancies are helpful to improve TZM alloy density during solid sintering process. Doping carbon nanotubes (CNTs) into the TZM alloy as carbon source can improve its density and decrease oxygen content, which is more effective than graphite or stearic acid as carbon sources. Higher TZM alloy relative density results in lower oxygen content. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
