1 Introduction
The Fe–Cu nanoscale intermetallic composite systems have attracted considerable
attention for a long time, despite problems with their manufacturing. This interest is
related to attractiveness of the Fe–Cu systems for many applications due to their wellknown high strength, thermal, and electrical properties [1–7]. Here, it is appropriate
to say that such composites can be used not only in the traditional “metallurgical”
direction. Thus, the Fe–Cu metastable material was studied as a mesoporous layer,
which could be used as an alternative to the TiO 2 oxide used for increasing efficiency
of the solar cells [8]. However, synthesis of the similar metastable intermetallic meets
a number of obstacles, which are mainly related to the low solubility of components
at equilibrium state if the temperature is below 700 °C [1, 3, 9, 10].
Mechanical alloying (milling) (MA) of the components of the intermetallic system
allowed to increase their solubility comparing to equilibrium values and, at the same
time, is a rather simple and effective way to produce a large amount of the composite.
That is why manufacturing nanocomposite materials by the MA method is today a
