Ball-milling of a crystalline elemental powder mixture (Mechanical Alloying, MA), or of a crystalline intermetallic compound (Mechanical Milling, MM), is of particular interest not only for forming alloys which are dispersion strengthened by a uniform distribution of fine, stable particles, but for creating nanometer-sized crystalline materials in which the solubility of some elements may be several orders of magnitude larger than in the case of single crystals. In this paper the processing and the thermal stability of the nanometer-sized Mg{sub 2}Si intermetallic compound prepared by both MA and MM techniques are reported and discussed.
