Description

Cu-NbC nanocomposites with nominal compositions of 5, 10 and 20 vol.% of NbC were produced in situ via MA from elemental powders. The powders were milled for 1, 2, 4, 8, 16 and 32 h. The as-milled powders were characterised by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). X-ray diffraction results showed that the niobium carbide phase is formed in the early stages of milling and that the time necessary to complete the reaction ranges from 1 to about 8 h of milling
