Abstract: Single-phase aluminum diboride was obtained by thermal explosion of an aluminum-boron mixture mechanically activated in a planetary ball mill. It was established that the additional mechanical treatment of the products of thermal explosion made it possible to reduce the coherent scattering area size of AlB$_2$ to nanometer values. The results of X-ray phase and electron microscopy of the mechanocomposites and products of thermal explosion are presented.

Keywords: aluminum diboride, thermal explosion, mechanical activation.
