Abstract

Mixtures of elemental aluminium and magnesium powders corresponding to Al70Mg30 and Al50Mg50 compositions have been mechanically alloyed. After milling, an extended solid solubility of magnesium in aluminium upto 18 at% in the case of Al70Mg30 and 45 at% for Al50Mg50 was observed. These materials typically nanostructural (grain size 2–10 nm) transform into equilibrium structure upon heating. The stability of these materials was investigated using thermal analysis.
