From the initial laboratory successes in 1968, the process of mechanical alloying has been developed into a well-controlled production operation over the years, and applied to develop varieties of materials. Being a new field, there is a wealth of recent scientific literature available but all information is scattered. This book tries to address this problem and is aimed at undergraduates, postgraduates and material scientists and engineers who want to have in-depth knowledge in this field. The book is also designed to serve as an introductory and refreshment reference tool for manufacturing engineers actively involved in mechanical alloying.Contents1. Mechanical alloying2.
