Abstract

The effects of mechanical milling (MM) on the phase transformation of graphite carbon were investigated using high resolution electron microscopy (HREM), x-ray diffraction, and differential thermal analysis (DTA). Amorphization of graphite as a result of prolonged high-energy ball milling was directly observed with HREM. The exothermic peak in the DTA trace of the ∼200 h ball-milled sample indicated a crystallization onset temperature of about 670 °C and crystallization activation energy of 234 kJ/mole.
