STUDY ON Ni-P COATED GRAPHITE INCLUSION IN NANOGRAINED TiAI BY MECHANICAL ALLOYING

Abstract

The high energy ball milling has successfully been employed to produce nano powders. The method has also been used to extract aluminium from its chloride. In this work an attempt has been made to produce intermetallic compound of TiAI by using mechanical alloying method. Electroless Ni-P coated graphite powder is also been mixed along with titanium and aluminium powders to study the effect of this inclusion. An attempt has been made to optimize the process parameters so as to achieve uniform structure in the nano range. The various parameters that are being altered are weight percentage of graphite, time of milling and revolutions per minute of the motor.
