| Abstract: | Nanostructured phase formation in the elemental powder blends of nominal composition Al 87Y 10Ni 3 during mechanical alloying (MA) was investigated by X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy. Almost fully amorphous phase formed in Al 87Y 10Ni 3 after prolonged (70 h) milling, in comparison to the complete amorphous phase formation by rapid solidification processing (RSP) of the same composition [A. Inoue, Prog. Mater. Sci. 43 365 (1998)]. The powder samples, which were milled for different length of time, were aged in a high purity inert atmosphere at room temperature (~ 28 °C) for 180 days. Comparison of the X-ray diffraction data of the milled and aged samples of Al 87Y 10Ni 3, and milled samples of a fully amorphous phase forming composition (Al 87Ni 6Ti 6) indicated that the extent of variation of lattice parameter of the Al-rich solid solutions in course of MA played a vital role in the amorphous phase formation by MA. The nearly amorphous phase in Al 87Y 10Ni 3 alloy produced by MA in the present investigation showed poor rack-life and thermal stability apparently due to the presence of fcc-Al particles in the nearly amorphous structure. © 2012 American Scientific Publishers.
