β¦ Synopsis
The nanocrystalline NiAl intermetallic compound was synthesized by mechanical alloying of the elemental powders. The structural changes of powder particles during mechanical alloying were studied by X-ray diffractometery, scanning electron microscopy and microhardness measurements. The mechanical alloying resulted in the gradual formation of nanocrystalline NiAl with a grain size of 20 nm. It was found that NiAl phase develops by continuous diffusive reaction at Ni/Al layers interfaces. The NiAl compound exhibited high microhardness value of about 1035 Hv.

Nanocrystalline A13Ni, NiA1 and Ni3A1 phases in the Ni-AI system and the c~,/7, 7 and e phases in the Cu-Zn system were synthesized by mechanical alloying of elemental blends in a planetary mill. In the as-milled state, A13Ni and AINi were always ordered, while Ni3A1 was disordered. MA results in a
