A
process consisting of a mechanical
mixing at the nanoscale of elementary components. A long
duration of such a mechanical
process is expected to lead to the formation a stationary end product
constituted by definite compounds.
Alloying
process that can be used to produce nanomaterials,
consisting of the repeated bonding, fracturing and rebonding
of elemental and master alloy powders by highly energetic collisions in a
mill under an inert atmosphere or vacuum
