Structural study of Fe-Al nanomaterial produced by mechanical activation and self-propagating high-temperature synthesis

Mossbauer spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction are used for structural study of nanopowders resulting from a 60% Fe + 40% Al mixture after mechanical activation, as well as their nanocomposite derivatives arising in the process of self-propagating high-temperature synthesis. The different nature of the iron-aluminum interaction in these nanotechnological processes is demonstrated.
