Since Ti alloys exhibit inferior wear resistance and suffer considerable loss in mechanical strength at high temperature, it is aimed at synthesis an in-situ Ti/(TiB + TiC) hybrid composite. In order to synthesis Ti/(TiB + TiC) in-situ composite, B4C particulate was mixed with titanium powder and sintered at 1400 °C at different time intervals by spark plasma sintering. Sintering parameters were optimized according to the complete in-situ reactions. Density of the sintered compacts was measured by Archimedes principle. Energy dispersive spectroscope and optical microscope observations of the sintered samples revealed that with increasing sintering time TiB and TiC particulates were gradually transforming into needle like structure and near equiaxed structure, respectively.
