Mechanically driven microstructural evolution • Deformation localization in shear bands containing a high dislocation density • Annihilation/recombination/rearrangement of dislocation to form cell/subgrain structure with finer dimension • Random orientation of grains, i.e., low angle grain boundary high angle grain boundary grain boundary sliding rotation

Grain refinement by mechanical milling Microstructure formation by ball milling Mechanics of a planetary ball mill Nanocrystalline structure Microcrystalline structure
Polymorphic transformation in Nb Calculated lattice expansion in 3.7% Measured lattice expansion 4% Calculated stored energy 4.35 x 10-20J/atom Earlier reported value 1.46x 10-20J/atom
Amorphisation by Mechanical Milling • Pioneered by Koch et al. in the case of Nb-Ni system • Most widely studied SSA technique • Achieved in the mixture of pure metal, intermetallics etc Defect induced disordering of the crystalline alloys Repetitive cold welding and fracture Alloying Amorphization
