The current state of studies on the mechanochemical The current state of studies on the mechanochemical synthesis of binary metallic systems is considered. It is shown that synthesis of binary metallic systems is considered. It is shown that this method is suitable for the preparation of intermetallic com-this method is suitable for the preparation of intermetallic compounds and solid solutions in concentration limits of equilibrium pounds and solid solutions in concentration limits of equilibrium diagrams of many binary systems.

The major factors, which influence the concentration limits of existence of non-equilibrium solid solutions centration limits of existence of non-equilibrium solid solutions prepared by the mechanochemical method, are revealed. Using prepared by the mechanochemical method, are revealed. Using numerous examples, it is demonstrated that the formation of solid numerous examples, it is demonstrated that the formation of solid solutions may involve several stages. At the first stage, nanosized solutions may involve several stages. At the first stage, nanosized layered composite structures are formed with simultaneous dis-layered composite structures are formed with simultaneous dispersion of the initial components (the formation of a large contact persion of the initial components (the formation of a large contact area). The second stage involves the synthesis of intermetallic area). The second stage involves the synthesis of intermetallic compounds in nanosized layered composites. At the third step, the compounds in nanosized layered composites. At the third step, the intermetallic compounds are dissolved in a metal solvent to give a intermetallic compounds are dissolved in a metal solvent to give a solid solution.
