Annealing Dependent Structural And Magnetic Study Of Ball Milled Fe1-xAlx Powder

This paper presents a study of the, ball mill prepared, annealed Fe-Al nanostructures. A series of Fe1-xAlx (0.4 <= x <= 0.6) ball milled powders were prepared and then annealed for 24 hrs at 600 degrees C in a nonreactive environment. The samples were characterized using X-ray Diffraction (XRD) for structural and Vibrating Sample Magnetometry (VSM) for magnetic properties. It can be seen that the process of mechanical alloying gets completed and different alloy phases are formed.
