The nanocomposite WC–MgO powders were prepared at room temperature by reactive milling of low-cost WO3, Mg and graphite powders under argon gas atmosphere in a planetary ball milling. Powder samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The milling energy was calculated using a collision model and the milling energy maps were attained. The effects of milling parameters (including milling speed, ball-to-powder weight ratio and milling time) on the formation mechanism have been illuminated by the obtained milling energy maps. Results show that WC–MgO can be formed via Self-propagation High-temperature Synthesis (SHS) when the effective extensive factor Ebis above 38.24kJg−1s−1, and it also can be formed from gradual reaction when Ebis between 22.12kJg−1s−1and 38.24kJg−1s−1. As the energy map demonstrates, the total energy Etrequired for fabricating WC–MgO through SHS ranges from 25.61×106kJg−1to 61.82×106kJg−1, while more than 112.83×106kJg−1is necessary for gradual reaction one. These milling energy maps are proposed as a tool for better understanding of the synthesis and formation of WC–MgO by high-energy reactive milling.
