摘要

Nanocrystalline Co30Fe30Ni30Cr10 (wt.%) powders were synthesized by high‐energy mechanical alloying for up to 48 h and characterized using scanning electron microscopy, particle size distribution analysis, x‐ray diffraction with Rietveld refinement and vibrating sample magnetometry. Prolonged milling drove a progressive morphological transformation via severe plastic deformation, fracture and re‐welding, culminating in submicron refined particles. After 48 h, the powders exhibited a homogeneous microstructure of rounded particles with an average size of ~ 0.84 µm. X‐ray diffraction confirmed the complete dissolution of the elemental phases and the formation of two dominant substitutional solid solutions, bcc‐Fe(Cr,Ni,Co) and fcc‐Co(Ni,Fe), with a minor residual hcp‐Co phase. The crystallite size decreased to 7-18 nm, while the microstrain level increased to 0.5-1.2%, accompanied by a dislocation density on the order of 1018 m−2. The calculations also showed that the grain-boundary volume fraction \(\left( {f_{gb} } \right)\) f gb increases with milling time, exceeding 30% after 48 h, corroborating the nanocrystalline nature of the powders. Magnetic characterization after 48 h revealed a soft‐magnetic response, with coercivity of 108 Oe, saturation magnetization of 110.6 emu/g and remanence of ~ 6.2 emu/g, evidencing the interplay between nanocrystalline refinement and defect‐mediated magnetic behavior.
