Abstract
The paper aims to present the experimental work concerning the elaboration of some W-Cu nanocomposites powders by mechanical alloying (MA) technique. The MA process was carried out in a vario planetary ball mill with different condition: shock mode (the main disk and the planets have reverse direction) friction mode (the main disk and the planets have the same direction). Three types of samples with different concentrations as fallowing: 85 W-15 Cu, 80 W-20 Cu, 75 W-25 Cu were studied. The mixtures obtained after 8 hours of MA were studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy
dispersive X-ray analysis (EDAX) and particle size distribution..
