Ternary alloy of sn4lizn for mechanical alloying process
The granted patent US12071680B2 describes a novel product comprising a ternary alloy characterized by the formula Sn4Li(4+x)Zn(8-x), where the variable x ranges from 0 to less than 8. The alloy is noted for its stability, remaining in a single face-centered cubic (FCC) phase when subjected to heating up to approximately 900°C and maintaining this phase upon cooling. The claims further specify that the ternary alloy is non-stoichiometric and can be produced through a mechanical alloying process, particularly high-energy ball milling. Additionally, the product may include a body that integrates sintered nanoparticles of the ternary alloy, with potential incorporation of carbon fibers or magnetic elements such as iron, cobalt, chromium, or nickel.
The patent also outlines a method for forming the ternary alloy, emphasizing the use of mechanical alloying techniques to achieve the desired composition. The method includes the possibility of altering the stoichiometric composition of the alloy and ensuring that it retains its FCC phase under specified thermal conditions. The claims detail various ranges for the variable x, allowing for flexibility in the alloy's composition. Overall, the patent presents a comprehensive approach to creating a stable ternary alloy with specific physical characteristics and potential applications in materials science and engineering.
