Mechanical Alloying of Ti-Nb-Sn Alloys: Phase Evolution and Microstructural Development

Mechanical alloying (MA) of titanium (Ti), niobium (Nb), and tin (Sn) was investigated to explore the formation of solidsolutions and the development for potential biomedical applications. The elemental powders of Ti, Nb, and Sn were subjected tohigh-energy ball milling for varying times (۵, ۱۰, ۲۰, ۴۰, ۶۰ hours) to assess the effects of milling on phase evolution, microstructure,and particle morphology. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis revealed the formation of Ti-Nb-Sn solid solutions, with increasingmilling time leading to further refinement of the microstructure. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used to analyze theparticle size and morphology, showing a progressive reduction in particle size and an increase in homogeneity of the alloy.
