Limits of the Mg–Al γ-phase range by ball-milling
In the present work, the homogeneity range of the Mg–Al γ-phase was studied by ball-milling with post-annealing. In order to estimate the limit of its domain range, several Mg X Al 100− X compounds from X = 47.5 to 70 by incremental steps of 2.5 were prepared. Different experimental measurements (XR...
