Ternary Nano-Phase Separating Ni Powder and The Methodology to Identify them

Exclusively Licensed

A method of designing a metal alloy powder having a miscibility gap at low temperature is disclosed. The method includes identifying a first metal element and a second metal to form a metal alloy. selecting a third metal having a miscibility gap with the metal alloy. and mechanically alloying the third metal and the metal alloy to form a metal alloy powder having a nanoscale grain size. The metal alloy powder can be engineered to have a phase separation temperature at which diffusion of the third metal occurs to phase separate as a nanoscale phase. The nanoscale phase can redissolve at a transition temperature higher than the phase separation temperature.
