TiB2and TiC are covalent compounds and possess excellent hardness and corrosion resistance. It is very difficult to densify these materials using conventional sintering techniques. In this study, reactive sintering was used to simultaneously synthesise and densify TiB2–TiC composites. Solid state diffusion was the chief mechanism involved in the sintering process. Intermediate boride phases were formed and their amount and stability were strongly dependent on the sintering temperature and time. It was found that the chemical reaction between the starting Ti metal and B4C particles could be complete after sintering at ∼1500°C for 1 h, producing a TiB2–TiC ceramic composite.
