A method of mechanical activation providing a homogeneous distribution of reinforcing boron-bearing components and tungsten nanopowder in the matrix is recommended for making an aluminum-based radiation- protective material. Joint mechanical activation and subsequent extrusion are used to produce aluminum- based composites. The structure and the physical, mechanical and tribological characteristics of the composite materials are studied.
