Purpose: The aim of this work was to investigate an effect of phase composition, microstructure and selected properties of the rhenium-based alloys on the conditions of their preparation by mechanical alloying followed by pressure sintering. Design/methodology/approach: The structure and mechanical and physical properties of the Re-14.0% Ni, Re-13.7% Co and Re-9.1% Fe alloys prepared from pure metal powders by mechanical alloying in a planetary mill for 10 hours followed by sintering conducted for 1 hour at the temperature of 1150°C under the pressure of 600 MPa were investigated. Findings: The mechanical alloying results in partial dissolving of alloy components into each other, whereas their structure remains unchanged, and in a decrease in average density of powders and average diameter of their particles. As a result of sintering the alloy additives almost fully pass into rhenium-based solid solution. Density and hardness of the sinter compacts and homogeneity of alloying elements distribution were higher at longer times of mechanical alloying. Research limitations/implications: The obtained results provide complementary information on the possibility of obtaining high-melting alloys by mechanical alloying and on the rate of structural transformations taking place as a result of this process. Practical implications: The obtained materials can be used as master alloys for the production of contact materials and superalloys, providing higher homogeneity of the chemical composition and microstructure of the final products. Originality/value: A new method for preparation of rhenium-based alloys by means of mechanical alloying and powder metallurgy techniques has been successfully tested.
