Sumario:Fe-Nb-B alloys prepared by ball milling can undergo a complex microstructural evolution during milling. In order to overcome the limitations imposed by traditional X-ray bulk analysis, a comprehensive multi-technique approach was devised to systematically characterize samples with the required resolution. A combination of in situ FIB (focused ion beam) lift-out and high-resolution ATEM (analytical transmission electron microscopy) has allowed the characterization of the phase evolution during milling. In particular, boron inclusions, not detected by X-ray diffraction, have been found to remain undissolved in the Fe matrix.
