摘要

Ball milled Ti/BN composite powder was prepared by high energy ball milling for 40 h, using Ti and BN (the molar ratio of Ti/BN is 3:2) as starting materials. The as-milled composite powder consists of TiN, Ti and amorphous phase. TiN formed while the milled powder was annealed at 400 degreesC. The heat treatment at 700 degreesC led to the formation of TiB2 and TiB. The nanocrystalline Ti and amorphous phase converted to TiN and TiB2 when the powder was heated to 1300 degreesC.
