SURFACTANTASSISTED BALL MILLING: A NOVEL ROUTE TO .
MECHANISM OF BALL MILLING Ball milling is a powerful nonequilibrium processing method capable of producing dispersion strengthened alloys with fine microstructures as well as metastable structured materials [16]. The milling process, which can be either (1) mechanical milling or (2) mechanical alloying, refines the grain size of all solid elements into nanoscale .
