The present work discusses the powder metallurgy processing of ruthenium aluminide by a sequence of attrition milling, cold compaction followed by sintering at high temperature. X-ray diffraction patterns for the attrition milled powder mixture of composition Ru 47 Al 53 revealed that RuAl phase was formed after 7h of milling. For the case of milled ternary alloys of RuAlNi, the intensity of the nickel peaks decreased with milling time. Up to 81% theoretical density was obtained for the cold compacted pellets after sintering at 1400°C for 24h. Microstructure of the sintered samples revealed micro-porosities and RuAl phase formation along with weakly alloyed phases of ruthenium and aluminum. The microstructures were characterized by using X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscope with energy dispersive X-ray analysis.
