Abstract
The effect of the powder quantity on the effectiveness of the mechanical alloying process using different ductile powder systems was studied. X-ray diffraction, inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectroscopy and energy dispersive x-ray spectrometry-scanning electron microscopy were the techniques employed to characterize the mechanically alloyed powders. Results showed that a same volume of powders, which represented different powder mass quantities for each system and composition, was used to mechanically alloy in an effective way in horizontal ball mills.
