Zirconium carbide and oxycarbide bulks were produced via Reactive Spark Plasma Sintering (RSPS) using zirconia and carbon powders. The effects of dwell temperature, uniaxial pressure and heating rate on final chemical composition/stoichiometry were investigated. Heating rates (20-200 degrees C min(-1)) had no significant effect on RSPS. The carbothermal reduction was hindered by increasing the sintering pressure. This was because of gases entrapped within the closed porosity. Under pressure-less conditions, the reaction onset started at similar to 1300 degrees C and the reduction was completed within 10 min resulting in an oxygen content as low as 1.47 at.-%. Under 16 MPa applied pressure, the reaction onset was shifted to 1830 degrees C. Sub-micrometric zirconia powder (
