Abstract

Intermetallic compound NbAl₃and amorphous phases were synthesized by mechanical alloying of elemental powder mixtures of niobium and aluminum. The composition of the powder mixtures was Nb-45wt%Al(75at%Al). The mechanical alloying was performed with a high energy SPEX 8000 mixer/mill up to 72 hrs. The resulting powders were analyzed by XRD, DTA, SEM and TEM. The mechanically alloyed powders exhibited lamellar structures in the early stage. And the elements of Nb and Al were homogeneously distributed over the Powder when a steady state was reached. An intermetallic compound, NbAl₃, was formed by mechanical alloying for 4 hrs. The mechanically alloyed powders exhibited a large exotherm around 600℃, corresponding to formation of stable NbAl₃and stress relief.

기계적 합금화(mechanical alloying:MA) 방법에 의해 원소 Nb와 Al의 혼합분말로부터 금속간 화합물 NbA1₃와 비정질상을 얻었다. 혼합분말의 조성은 Nb-45wt%Al(75at%Al)으로 하였으며, 기계적 합금화는 고에너지 SPEX8000 mixer/mill을 사용하여 72시간까지 행하였다. 얻어진 분말은 XRD, DTA, SEM 및 TEM으로 분석했다. 기계적 합금화 초기 단계의 분말은 층상 구조를 나타냈고, 정상상태에 도달하였을 때는 분말 내에서 원소 Nb와 Al이 균일하게 분포되어 있었다. 4시간 기계적 합금화를 하였을 때 금속간 화합물 NbA1₃가 형성되었다. 기계적 합금화된 분말들은 안정한 NbA1₃형성 및 응력 완화에 해당되는 600℃ 근처에서 큰 발열 peak을 나타냈다.
