Principles and Mechanisms of Cryomilling of Metallic Materials: Insights from Recent Studies

Cryomilling Materials with improved properties and functionalities are increasingly essential across various industries. In article number 2402172, Enrique J. Lavernia and Felipe Gutierrez-Morales discuss cryomilling, a top-down technique for producing nanomaterials by pulverizing powder materials within a cryogenic environment that impedes dislocation recovery and promotes grain stability. This process minimizes contamination and achieves finer particles compared to room temperature mechanical alloying.
