Elemental powder mixtures of Al, Cu, and Fe with nominal composition of Al 65 Cu 20 Cu 15 were proceeded in a planetary ball mill for up to 5 h. Phase analysis of as-milled powders shows that only diffraction peaks of metallic elements were detected after milling for 60 min. The long milling times r...
