Mechanical alloying is a solid-state processing technique used to produce composite materials or alloys by the repeated deformation, fracturing, and welding of powder particles. It involves the high-energy ball milling of elemental or pre-alloyed powders in a controlled environment. This process can lead to the formation of new materials with unique compositions and properties, often resulting in improved mechanical, thermal, and magnetic characteristics.
