| The aim of this work was to study the structural transformations induced by mechanical alloying of the mixture of elemental powders with the composition of Zr30Fe35Ni35. The structure of the powder samples was characterized by X-ray diffraction, Mssbauer spectroscopy and differential scanning calorimetry measurements as a function of the milling time up to 100 h. Mechanical alloying caused a partial amorphization in the samples milled for up to 50 h. Milling for longer time induced the formation of an inhomogeneous nanocrystalline structure. Magnetization measurements revealed the changes of magnetic properties related to the structure of the ball milled samples. |
