Composites of Ni and Fe aluminides were obtained by hot pressing and hot extrusion of a blended mixture of Ni and Al or Fe and Al with ceramic phases such as TiC, ZrO{sub 2}, and Al{sub 2}O{sub 3}. Aluminides were analyzed by XRD to determine the phase structures, and optical and scanning electron microscopies were used to determine the grain sizes of the aluminides and dispersion of ceramics. Tensile properties (0.2% YS, UTS, total elong., RIA) were measured on buttonhead and sheet specimens of Ni and Fe aluminides and their composites at room and high temperatures in air at a strain rate of 1. 2x10{sup -3}/s. Tensile properties of Fe-8 wt% Al from partial mechanical alloying and then combustion synthesis compare very well with oxide-dispersed alloys of Fe. Fe aluminides of FeAl and their composites, based on Fe-24 wt% Al from hot pressing of Fe and Al powders with or without ceramic phases, exhibited full densities and uniform grain sizes. Tensile properties of FeAl and composites (hot pressing of elemental powders) were excellent compared to those of FeAl alloys from hot extrusion of water-atomized powders. Fe aluminides were also obtained by hot extrusion of Fe and Al powders at 950, 1000, and 1100 C.
