Abstract
Al-Cr-Zr metal powders were prepared by cryo-milling(-75$^{\circ}C$),ambi-milling(25$^{\circ}C$) and warm-milling(200$^{\circ}C$) to investige the effect of milling temperature. The morphogical changes and microstructural evolution of Al-6wt.%Cr-3wt.%Zr metal powder ball milling were investigated by SEM, OM and XRD. The cryo-milling at -75$^{\circ}C$ caused the more refinement of powder particle size than ambi-milling and warm-milling. The partic morpholgy of Al-Cr-Zr metal powders changed changes into spheroidal particles at 25$^{\circ}C$and spherical particles at 200$^{\circ}C$The spherical particles were formed by agglomertion and contiuous wrapping of the spheroidal particles. The calculated Al crystallite size in Al-Cr-Zr metal powders by the Scherer equation were refined rapidly for short milling time -75$^{\circ}C$compared with milling at 25$^{\circ}C$ and 200$^{\circ}C$.
