Abstract. The mechanical milling of manganese and silicon powder in a planetary ball mill up to 18 h was performed. In the X-ray diffraction pattern recorded after 18 hours of milling the MnSi phase and Mn15Si26 compound are detected. The agglomeration of powders after complete reaction of the elements was observed by scanning electron microscopy. Heating up at 1000 °C, an unreacted sample, milled 4 hours, has found to have the effect of completing the reaction of elements, but forms oxides. Handling of the powder during sampling, without protective atmosphere was found to form oxides. The oxidation of the samples was evidenced by FTIR analysis.
