Abstract
Physicochemical properties of non-equilibrium solid solutions in metal systems obtained mechanochemically are investigated by means of high-resolution microscopy, X-ray diffraction and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). It is demonstrated that nano-crystalline non-equilibrium solid solutions possess the excess free energy due to the presence of non-equilibrium non-stoichiometric defects and high density of inter block boundaries. The whole set of these defects creates synergetic effect in chemical activity.
