In this work, the results of the structural and phase state of LaNi5-based alloys modified with Ti, Mn, and Co elements, obtained by mechanical alloying and subsequent spark plasma sintering, are presented. X-ray diffraction analysis was carried out to determine the phase composition, lattice parameters, microstrain, and average crystallite size, as well as to study the morphology and microstructure of the synthesized samples. It was established that the ball-to-powder ratio (BPR) and the milling speed affect the degree of intermetallic phase formation and the level of accumulated microstrains. The optimal mechanical alloying parameters make it possible to form the necessary precursor components for subsequent spark plasma sintering (SPS). It was determined that the SPS process effectively promotes the formation of intermetallic phases such as TiNi, LaNi4Mn, LaNi3Mn2, and LaNi4Co, ensuring high crystallinity and a reduction in defects accumulated during mechanical alloying. The morphology and microstructure of the samples with titanium, manganese, and cobalt additions showed that at the mechanical alloying stage, all systems are characterized by a dispersed and agglomerated structure, a wide particle size distribution, and a developed surface. After SPS, all series exhibited material consolidation and the formation of a dense matrix with distinct grain boundaries.
