Synthesis of Titanium Nano Particles Using Planetary Ball Mill

The scientific and technological advantages o f nanostructured particles and materials have been attracting considerable attention. The main objective of this work is to synthesis titanium (Ti) nano particles by using the ball milling process and to characterize them. Titanium powder of initial size 4μm was milled for 40 hours. At the end o f 20 hours, it was observed that the agglomerated nanoparticles size varied from 200nm to 326nm. At the end o f 30 hours, it was observed that the agglomerated nano particles size varied from 90nm to 140nm. At the end of 35 hours, it was observed that the particles were o f nano particles size whose range was 84nm to 119nm. At the end of 40hours it was observed that the particles were of nano size whose range was 66nm to 120nm. The Ti nano particles produced were characterized by Wide Angle X-ray Diffraction (WAXD), Energy Dispersive X-ray Analysis(EDXA) and SEM analysis techniques and the images of the same were obtained.
