The characterization and consolidation of mechanically alloyed M_99.7(C₆₀, C₇₀)_0.3 mol% and M_84.3C_15.7 at% (M=Al, Cu, Fe) powders were carried out. The mechanical stability of carbon fullerene(C₆₀, C₇₀) was studied in a preliminary experiment prior to MA (metal fullerene). The result has shown that the fcc structure of fullerene (C₆₀, C₇₀) remAlns after long time milling. In addition, a new molecule probably a dimer of C₆₀ is formed during milling. The phase changes of the processed powders with milling time were studied using x-ray diffraction and high performance liquid chromatography. The MA powders were subsequently sintered by plasma sintering machine. The phases present, microstructure, hardness of the sintered compacts were studied using TEM, X-ray diffraction and vickers hardness tester. In the Al- and Fe-fullerene system, Al₄C₃ and Fe₃C formed during sintering of Al-(C₆₀, C₇₀) and Fe-(C₆₀, C₇₀) mechanically alloyed powders respectively. In TEM micrographs of Cu-fullerene MA powders very fine Cu particles were observed around MA powder. These fine particles were considerd to be produced by the evaporation of Cu from MA powder by electron beam irradiation. This indicates that the powder is heated by electron beam and separation of Cu and carbon takes place.
