Mechanical alloying is a viable technique to produce coatings of limited thickness on a solid substrate. Elemental copper powder was mechanically alloyed with nickel balls in a planetary ball mill under various milling times and rotation speeds. The mutual diffusion of the elements during milling which led to the formation of a Ni–Cu solid solution and the creation of Ni–Cu coating on the surface of Ni balls was studied. The maximum hardness of the coating increased to threefold (HV0.01594) that of the substrate. Micro-structural characterization of the coating surface using optical microscope, scanning electron microscope (SEM), and electron probe micro-analyzer (EPMA) indicates that, by using appropriate processing conditions, a thick, fully-dense coating can be metallurgically bonded to the nickel balls. X-ray diffraction (XRD) results revealed the formation of nanocrystalline solid solutions.
