The influence of milling parameters, such as milling time (10h-80h), milling speed (200rpm, 250rpm, 300rpm), as well as the initial powder morphology, have been investigated. The microstructure of the milled powder has been characterized by scanning electron microscopy, coupled with X-ray diffraction. The results indicate that, the interval milling mode that carried out with a speed of 250rpm, shows optimized mechanical alloying effect. At the initial stages of ball milling a significant broadening of the diffraction peaks was observed, which can be linked to phason strain of the quasilattice. With increasing milling time, the diffraction signals belonging to β phase were no longer observed, indicating a complete transformation of β phase to α phase. The milled powder can be further used to synthesize compacts with a low elastic modulus for biomedical applications.
