The characterization and consolidation of mechanically alloyed AlxTi100-x (x=25,50, 75at%) powders were carried out. The phase changes of the processed powders with milling time were studied using x-ray diffraction and DSC. The MA powders were subsequently sintered by hot press. The phase, microstructure, relative density and hardness of the sintered compacts were studied using SEM, TEM, x-ray diffraction and vickers hardness tester. The existence of Ti solid solution with an amorphous phase in

... the powder sample with x=25 was confirmed as a final alloying stage. For the samples with x=50 and 75, the single amorphous phase and the fcc phase via an amorphous phase respectively were observed. The optimum MA times for sintering with respect to the chemical homogeniety,
