Preparation of bulk amorphous Ni60Nb40.

Recently, the P/M method of mechanical alloying (MA) has been applied to produce amorphous metal powders by a high energy milling process of at least two elemental polycrystalline powders. Presented are results on amorphization by MA of elemental Ni- and Nb-powders and the production of an amorphous semifinished part. (Ni60Nb40).
