Abstract
The nature of the steady state reached during ball milling of CuxAg1−x powders (x=35 to 75) is studied as a function of the milling temperature (85K≤T≤503K). The characterization of the powders is performed by using x-ray diffraction, differential calorimetry and atom probe field ion microscopy. A steady-state phase diagram is built. Three-phase coexistence is shown to generally take place at intermediate milling temperatures. Atom probe data reveals that the solid solution stabilized by low milling temperature is nearly random, where as milling at elevated temperatures results in the decomposition of the elements at a lengthscale of 20∼30 nm.
