Mechanical alloying is a solid state processing technique traditionally used in the
metallurgical industry to extend solubility limits in alloy systems. Mechanical alloying can also
be used to blend polymer systems at ambient or cryogenic temperatures. In this work, cryogenic
mechanical alloying was employed to create composite powders of Poly (ether ether ketone)
(PEEK) - Polycarbonate (PC) for use in selective laser sintering applications. The
microstructural development of the PEEK-PC system that occurs during laser sintering and the
effects of this microstructure on mechanical properties of the laser sintered parts was
investigated.Mechanical Engineerin
