Abstract
- We investigated the mechanical alloying (MA) processes of Al and Al<subscript>2</subscript>O<subscript>3</subscript> powders via X-ray diffraction analysis, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and Vickers microhardness. The yield strengths and microstructures of consolidated compacts were evaluated using tensile tests and TEM, respectively. When the amount of oxygen in the MA atmosphere was higher than a certain threshold, Al<subscript>2</subscript>O<subscript>3</subscript> particles of about 7 nm were precipitated in the Al grain interior from a supersaturated solid solution (SSS) of AlO due to significant precipitation driving force. Two types of alloyed powders were obtained: Al<subscript>2</subscript>O<subscript>3</subscript> particle-dispersed Al nanocomposite and SSS. The consolidated compact of the former exhibited smaller Al grains and higher yield strength than the latter due to the enhancement of the pinning effect on Al grain boundary migration during consolidation. The difference in the nature of the two kinds of powders affected the Al grain sizes and yield strengths of the consolidated compacts. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
