	%X The current study investigated the influence of milling
time and ball-to-powder (BPR) weight ratio on the microstructural
constituents and mechanical properties of bulk nanocrystalline Al;
Al-10%Cu; and Al-10%Cu-5%Ti alloys. Powder consolidation was
carried out using a high frequency induction heat sintering where the
processed metal powders were sintered into a dense and strong bulk
material. The powders and the bulk samples were characterized using
XRD and FEGSEM techniques. The mechanical properties were
evaluated at various temperatures of 25°C, 100°C, 200°C, 300°C and
400°C to study the thermal stability of the processed alloys. The
processed bulk nanocrystalline alloys displayed extremely high
hardness values even at elevated temperatures. The Al-10%Cu-5%Ti
alloy displayed the highest hardness values at room and elevated
temperatures which are related to the presence of Ti-containing
phases such as Al3Ti and AlCu2Ti. These phases are thermally stable
and retain the high hardness values at elevated temperatures up to
400ºC.
