•We investigated the influence of milling time on the packing characteristics and compressive mechanical properties of a biomedical Ti alloy.•Increasing milling time led to a significant decrease in the compressive mechanical properties.•Powder packing density was adversely affected at longer milling times.
The influence of milling time on the powder packing characteristics and compressive mechanical properties of a biomedical Ti-10Nb-3Mo alloy (wt.%) was investigated. Ball milling was performed on elemental metal powders at different milling times of 0 (blended), 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 h. This article demonstrates that despite the beneficial effects of ball milling technique in the mechanical alloying of the Ti-based alloy, the ball-milled powders synthesized at longer milling times can adversely affect the packing density and significantly diminish the compressive mechanical properties of the sintered powders.
