AB  - Silicide - aluminide composites could be considered as potential tool materials, because of high wear resistance and thermal stability. Recently, the alloys based on iron aluminide and silicide were tested, but they found to be very brittle due to the occurrence of brittle Fe-Al-Si ternary phases. On the other hand, in TiAl-Ti5Si3 composite, no ternary phase was formed during sintering, even though it can be expected based on thermodynamics. Therefore, this paper aims on finding the way how to test poten-tial interaction between silicide and aluminide phase during preparation of these composites.
