The fabrication of aluminum-aluminide layered composites by reactive bonding of elemental Al and Ni foils was investigated. It was observed that after hot-pressing, thin Ni foils were converted to NiAl. The as-processed Al-NiAl layered structure could be heat-treated to produce an equilibrium Al-Al{sub 3}Ni layered composite. Tensile tests revealed that composites could be produced that failed in a tough manner and were stronger and stiffer than aluminum.
