Current and future applications of mechanically alloyed materials

Abstract

Mechanical alloying, a technique involving repeated deformation, fracturing, and welding of powder particles, holds immense potential across industries. These materials exhibit enhanced properties and microstructures, making them valuable in the aerospace, automotive, energy, electronics, and biomedical sectors. From lightweight aerospace components to high-performance vehicle parts, efficient energy storage systems, advanced electronics, and tailored biomedical materials, mechanical alloying drives innovation. Ongoing research optimizes processes and explores new materials, with advanced characterization and computational modeling unlocking unprecedented properties. The transformative impact of these materials on industries and materials engineering’s future is remarkable. © 2024 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.
