Abstract

High levels of Mg solid solution in Ti have been achieved by mechanical alloying in a clean atmosphere. The equilibrium solubility of magnesium in titanium is very low and processing of these alloys by conventional routes is not possible due to the high vapour pressure of Mg and alloys of Ti and Mg have only been previously achieved by vapour quenching.

Contamination during milling was avoided by processing under a high purity argon atmosphere in sealed vials. Lattice parameter measurements and SEM observations suggested that complete solid solutions were achieved in alloys up to 24wt% Mg after 48h milling. For one alloy this was confirmed by high resolution TEM which showed extremely fine Ti grains in which Mg was homogeneously distributed with no clustering or precipitation.
