Abstract
Repeated folding and stretching is the process principle of mechanical alloying to produce fine structure. In the case of the system which forms intermetallic compounds, the formation of the intermetallic phase from the lamella structured sample occurres by heating, or, without heating when the lamella spacing is reduced to a critical value. In this study, the relationship between the ignition temperature at which the formation of intermetallic phase start and the lamella spacing was measured for AlCo, AlNi and NiTi systems.
