The microstructural development of TiC/Ti‐Al nanocomposites prepared by mechanical milling of Ti, graphite, and Al powders is investigated. The structures and morphologies of the nanocomposites milled at various periods are determined by XRD, SEM, TEM and EDX‐spectroscopy techniques. The mechanisms for the formation of TiC nanoparticles and Ti‐Al solid solution are elucidated based on these experimental results.
