Abstract

High energy ball-milling of Fe and B powders of starting composition Fe66B34 resulted in an alloy which revealed both a nanostructural state and a disordered amorphous-like state and a majority of unreacted components. The disordered phase is located in the interfacial regions between the Fe and B atoms. The ball-milled sample was annealed at low temperatures (250–350°C) to examine further the proposition that solid-state reaction is the mechanism of amorphization by mechanical alloying. A slight reaction between the Fe and B grains which were previously unreacted, probably limited to their contacting boundaries, has been detected.
