This work deals with the development of the preparation route for the composites with nickel aluminide reinforced by FeSi particles. The optimization of mechanical alloying of individual phases, mixing and consolidation by spark plasma sintering is presented. The composite is developed for the application as a future tool material. As the optimum conditions of mechanical alloying, the milling durations of 4 h and 10 h can be recommended for the synthesis of NiAl and FeSi phases, respectively. The hardness of composites increases with the amount of FeSi phase.
