摘要: Abstract In the present investigation, γ-Cu 5 Zn 8 intermetallic compound having an electron to atom ratio of about 21:13 and being structurally one most complex Hume–Rothery phases was selected for mechanical milling/alloying. The detailed characterization carried out by X-ray diffraction transmission microscopy study microstructural evolution stability during synthesis processing. Attempts have been made explore possibility formation nano-structured amorphous milling provide a thermodynamic explanation based on existing semi-empirical model. It found that γ-phase is quite stable there decrease in crystallite size up ∼20 nm with increase milling/alloying duration 40 h. However, amorphization could not be achieved even after 40 h milling. Detailed Miedema calculation showed would possible if can below certain critical value.
