The authors investigated the effect of mechanical activation and self-propagating high-temperature synthesis (SHS) on the phase composition of composite materials of Al-TiO 2 -B system. It has been shown that with increasing the duration of mechanical activation of initial powders the amount of crystalline boron-containing phases in the mixture increases. X-ray diffraction analysis of powder mixtures after SHS allows making conclusion about necessity of activation for at least 45 min to obtain a target compounds. Experimental results allow reasonably choosing the modes of mechanical activation for production of aluminium matrix composites with specified composition and controllable properties.
