For all nanocrystalline materials prepared by high-energy ball milling synthesis route, surface and interface contamination is a major concern. In particular, mechanical attributed contamination by the milling tools (Fe or WC) as well as ambient gas (trace impurities such as O 2, N 2 in rare gases) can be problems for high-energy ball milling.

Synthesis of nanomaterials by a simple, low cost and in high yield has been a great challenge since the very early development of nanoscience.

Nanocrystalline aluminum was synthesized using ball milling at room temperature. The resultant powder material was consolidated to the bulk form using warm compaction and argon atmosphere and consolidation using high pressure torsion. The samples after high pressure torsion exhibited high end mechanical properties. The hardness of the

The high-pressure torsion method results in nanocrystalline grains but is very limited in its size (scale-up issues). The ECAP process was said to give the best opportunity for producing the ultrafine grain size desired. It, too, is easy to use and can be used on a wide range of materials.

An in situ Cu-NbC composite was successfully synthesized from Cu, Nb, and C powders using ball milling and high pressure torsion (HPT) techniques. The novelty of the new approach, HPT, is the combination of high compaction pressure and large shear strain to simultaneously refine, synthesize, and consolidate composite powders at room temperature. …

High porosity of 3–9%, Fe and niobium oxidations, fromgrindingmedia and ethanol during ball milling led to low electrical conductivity of the milled Cu-NbC composite.

High-pressure torsion (HPT) is widely used not only as a severe plastic deformation (SPD) method to produce ultrafine-grained metals but also as a mechanical alloying technique to synthesize different alloys. In recent years, there have been several attempts to synthesize functional high-entropy alloys using the HPT method. In this paper, the application …

The synthesis of materials by high energy ball milling of powders was first developed by John Benjamin (1970)[13] and his co-workers at the International Nickel Company in the late 1960's. The goal of this work was the production of complex Oxide Dispersion-Strengthened (ODS) alloys for high temperature structural applications. It was found that

A major drawback of ball milling is the need of a sintering step to form bulk pieces of the reactive material. However, this is not possible, as the targeted reactions would already proceed. Therefore, we investigate the ability of high pressure torsion as an alternative process, capable to produce bulk nanocomposites from powder mixtures.

The present study demonstrates the successful synthesis of MgVCr (in spite of the total immiscibility of Mg with V and Cr) and MgTiVCrFe as a new high‐entropy alloy by means of high‐energy ball milling followed by high‐pressure torsion (HPT), aiming to improve the hydrogen storage properties.

In hydrothermal synthesis, the formation of nanomaterials can happen in a wide temperature range from room temperature to very high temperatures. To control the morphology of the materials to be prepared, either low-pressure or high-pressure conditions can be used depending on the vapor pressure of the main composition in the reaction.

An alternative to enhance mechanical properties is the use of severe plastic deformation (SPD) by high-pressure torsion (HPT) [,,,, ]. This method has been well established as a process capable to produce microstructure refinement and a high density of lattice defects without sample failure.

The review focuses on the supersaturation process of immiscible elements induced by high‐pressure torsion deformation. A variety of investigated material systems offers the systematic analysis of the controlling factors for mechanical intermixing, which are mainly determined by the level of the positive heat of mixing and the deformation behavior.

Presently, there are few applications of high pressure in the production of new materials or nanomaterials. Historically, high pressure synthesis has found few real-life applications beyond manufacturing of diamond and diamond-like materials. The major reason for this is the unstable nature of the high pressure phases at ambient conditions.
