摘要: The nanostructured CoAl intermetallic compound was produced by mechanical alloying (MA) of the Co50Al50 elemental powder mixture in a planetary high energy ball mill. The ordered B2-CoAl structure with the grain size of about 6 nm was formed via a gradual reaction after 10 h of MA. A thermodynamic analysis of the process was also done. The results showed that the intermetallic compound of CoAl has the minimum Gibbs free energy compared to solid solution and amorphous states indicating the initial MA product is the most stable phase in the Co-Al system which was changed to a partially disoredered structure with a steady long-range order of 0.82 at further milling. This amount of disordering caused the enthalpy of final product to show an increase of about 5.1 kJmol-1. Calculation of enthalpy related to the triple defect formation revealed that the enthalpy required for Al anti-sites formation was about 3 times greater than that for Co anti-sites formation.

This amount of disordering caused the enthalpy of final product to show an increase of about 5.1 kJ·mol-1. Calculation of enthalpy related to the triple defect formation revealed that the enthalpy required for Al anti-sites formation was about 3 times greater than that for Co anti-sites formation.
