Oxide dispersion strengthened nickel produced by nonreactive milling [PDF]
It is shown that oxide dispersion strengthened alloys can be produced by a postulated nonreactive milling mechanism whereby the dispersoid is trapped at the interface between welding metal powder particles. This interparticle welding is possible because,
