Nanopowders of TiCo were synthesized from Ti and Co by high energy ball milling. A highly dense nanostructured TiCo compounds were consolidated at low temperature by high-frequency induction heat sintering within 1 min of the mechanical synthesis of the powders (TiCo) and horizontal milled Ti+Co powders under 100 MPa pressure. This process allows very quick densification to near theoretical density and prohibits grain growth in nano-structured materials. The grain sizes of TiCo compounds were calculated. Finally, the average hardness values of nanostructured TiCo compounds were investigated.
