Effect of pressure on the metastable phase formation of equilibrium immiscible Ti-Mg system studied by ab initio technique and mechanical milling

Abstract

The CSIR is exploring options of mixing titanuim with lighter metal elements such as magnesium and aluminium to help decrease energy consumption. Titanium and its alloys are very important materials from both technological and scientific point of view. Therefore, the only possible route so far to achieve alloying of Ti and Mg, is by employing a non-equilibrium process. As a result, many attempts to extend the solid solubility have been made in the past decade using non-equilibruim processes.
