Abstract

Elemental mixtures of Co, Nb and B powders of a stoichiometric composition of 1: 1: 1 respectively is prepared from the mechanical processing in a high energy. The structure of the starting powders and grinded mixtures were characterized by X-Ray Diffraction and Differential Scanning Calorimetry(DSC) and Scanning Electron Microscopy and Spectroscopy Dispersion Energy (SEM / EDS). The amorphous alloy, Co-Nb-B was previously activated by high energy milling balls, involves two consecutive reactions amorphization. The mechanical milling, first leads to amorphization reaction between layers of Co and B with a strong thermodynamic driving force as well as for the rapid kinetics Co-B amorphization compared with Co-Nb intermetallic phases in amorphization. In further grinding the kinetic requirements for amorphization of Co-Nb reaction is observed and, consequently, the appearance and Nb-B compound in the form of amorphous phases. The two amorphous phases resulting homogenized by grinding over time.
