Abstract

Exploration of mechanical properties of Fe3C powder using Williamson-Hall analysis by using Mechanical alloying technique. The primary objective of this study is to investigate the lattice strain (LS) and nanocrystalline size (CS) in an Fe3C produced from powder using the Mechanical Alloying Method (MAM). By the repeated mechanical crushing, the LS created by MAM is expected to decrease while the CS is anticipated to reduce the particle size. To accomplish this, the X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) technique is employed to calculate the LS, peak shift (PS), Debye temperature (DT), Debye-Waller factor (DWF), and amplitude of vibrations (AV) of Fe3C. Key parameters, such as Debye temperature, amplitudes of vibration, Debye-Waller factor, lattice parameters, particle size, lattice strain, and vacancy formation energies, were determined. Notably, we estimated vacancy formation energies for Fe3C nanoparticles using X-ray Debye temperatures. Additionally, the synthesized ferrite powders were incorporated into polymer matrices to study their potential applications in composite materials, investigating aspects such as mechanical properties, thermal stability, and magnetic behavior.

Keywords: Fe3C, XRD, SEM, particle size, lattice strain, Debye-Waller factor and vacancy formation energy.
