    Abstract

    Six extruded PM AA6061/MoSi2/15p were processed with and without ball milling EBSD was used to characterise matrix grain size and grain orientation. Ball milling decreases matrix grain size to submicrometric level. Ball milling produces a more equiaxed microstructure and larger misorientation. Increasing milling time produces matrix texture randomization.
