Abstract
The object of this work is to estimate the increase in new surface and elastic energy during mechanical alloying of Cu-Cr powders processed by means of a SPEX mill in comparison with a regular solution model. The presence of crystalline defects increases the Gibbs free energy and the Gibbs free energy curves are moved upwards; hence the solubility limit changes. (c) 2007 Acta Materialia Inc.
