Title: A Study of Preparation and Characterization of Nano-Sized SiC Powder Using High Energy Ball Milling
Abstract: This study investigated the preparation of nanosized crystalline SiC powders from micro sized Silicon Carbide powder at room temperature through high energy ball milling. Silicon carbide was milled with hardened steel balls and ball milling media under identical conditions of ball mass to powder mass ratio 10:1 and target milling times of 60 h. The sample was taken out after every 20 hours of milling and it was characterized for its crystalline size, lattice strain, and percentage of crystalline by using X-Ray Diffractometer (XRD). It was found that for the 60 hours The size, shape and texture of the fresh as well as nanostructured Silicon carbide powder were studied using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). The raw Silicon carbide powder particles were mostly angular in shape. The shape of the 60h milled particles is irregular and the surface morphology is rough.
