We show that the use of mechanical alloying makes it possible to produce metal matrix composites with uniformly distributed nonagglomerated nanodiamond (ND) reinforcing particles. An aluminium matrix has been used for this study. X‐ray analysis shows that a composite structure containing uniformly distributed nanoparticles of 4–6 nm can significantly slow down the process of recrystallization during heating, which becomes evident only when the material is heated above 350 °C. Higher volume fractions of diamond nanoparticles lead to higher starting recrystallization temperatures.
