140 FOURTH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON NAN~STRUCTURED MATERIALS
The aim of the present work is to study structure of MA Fe-Ni alloys in a wide
concentration range. A study of magnetic hyperfine interaction in this system, which is
also of interest, will be published separately [4].

crystalline structure, but annealing at 65O’JC leads to the b.c.c.+f.c.c. + f.c.c. phase
transformation in alloys with x = 22 - 28 at. % and to the b.c.c. + b.c.c.+f.c.c.
transformation in alloys with x = 10 and 20 at. % (see. Fig. lb). This transformation,
which is far from equilibrium (Fig. lc), becomes possible, because equilibrium state in Fe-
Ni system may be reached only by very slow cooling.
The X-ray diffraction patterns of MA samples are characterised by significant
peak broadening. Crystallite sizes and microstrains, which are calculated from the
experimental data, were found to be within the ranges 8 - 15 nm and 0.5 - 0.8 %
respectively. Fig. 2 shows lattice parameters of f.c.c. alloys vs. alloy composition. Lattice
parameters of these phases for equilibrium alloy [7] are also presented on Fig. 2. It is easily
seen that equilibrium alloys lattice parameters are smaller than those of MA alloys. The
same effect was found in our previous work for Fe-Mn alloys [9].
It is known that ball milling of materials can lead to the formation of structures
with high concentration of stacking faults. Concentration of stacking faults in all MA
alloys with the f.c.c. structure was determined from the X-ray diffraction data. Fig. 3a
shows a dependence of stacking fault probability CLon the MA alloy composition. True
crystallite sizes proved to be almost an order of magnitude larger than corresponding
apparent values, which were determined ignoring the presence stacking faults in crystalline
lattice. The typical values of true crystallite sizes fall in the range 20 - 80 nm. Stacking
fault concentration decreases with increasing Ni content.
