The nanopowders of CoAl and Al2O3 were synthesized from Co3O4 and Al powders using high energy ball milling. The nanostructured 2.25CoAl-Al2O3 composite from the milled powder was consolidated within two min by the pulsed current activated sintering. The mechanical properties and microstucture of the nanostructured 2.25CoAl-Al2O3 was investigated from the view points of using Vickers hardness measurement, X-ray diffraction analysis and FE-SEM observation.
