Abstract
The rate of mechanical alloying for doped Si80Ge20 alloys was studied using flat and concave ended hardened tool steel vials. Alloying was found to occur at significantly higher rates using a flat ended vial. It was also found by X-ray diffraction that the homogeneity of the alloy remained constant between 9 and 30 h for the flat ended vial and between 1.5 and 30 h for the round ended vial.
