Abstract:

Mechanical alloying (MA) is used to produce new materials which cannot be obtained by other production processes. Simplified two powders A und B are mechanically joined to a new powder C which has new material properties. A particle based mathematical model for MA is developed for improving the mechanistic understanding of MA in a high energy ball mill. The model focuses on treatments from special milling devices and an investigation of breakage and fusion for ceramic materials. It was implemented by using parallel Monte Carlo methods for a large number of individual particles. To compare the simulation results with experimental data the system SiC and Al2O3 was investigated.

The aim of this paper is to improve the mechanistic understanding of MA in a high energy ball mill. Particularly the phenomena observed by milling of ceramic powders are investigated.
