Abstract
The ball-milling of pure Fe and Zn elemental powders corresponding to the Г-(Fe3Zn10), Г1-(Fe5Zn21), δ-(FeZn7), and ζ-(FeZn13) compositions yields metastable crystalline phases. This is demonstrated by the peaks observed in the DSC measurements of the different phases. These crystalline phases evolve differently with distinct or characteristic stages with heat treatments. Cold-welding and powder agglomeration are extensive, while the milled materials are completely homogeneous.
