This study presents synthesis of titanium aluminum carbonitrides alloy (TiAlCN) by mechanical alloying in Attritor ball mill from elemental powders of titanium, aluminum and graphite in nitrogen atmosphere. TiAlCN was characterized by SEM, XRD, DSC and FTIR techniques. XRD showed presence of titanium aluminum nitride, aluminum nitride, titanium carbide and titanium aluminum carbon nitride, while SEM showed existence of micro and nano particles with high agglomeration. Energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) analysis shows a homogeneous distribution of elements, and mapping analysis from X-rays confirms distribution of elements.
