Titanium carbide (TiC) was consolidated with 20 mol% zirconium carbide (ZrC) by spark plasma sintering in the temperature range of 1773–2473 K, and the phase formation, microstructure, relative density and mechanical properties were investigated. The composite consisted of Ti-rich (Ti, Zr)C and Zr-rich (Zr, Ti)C solid solutions at 1773–2373 K, and was single-phase (Ti, Zr)C at 2473 K. The relative density of the composite was over 98% above 2073 K. The composite prepared at 2273 K exhibited the maximumHVof 29.7 GPa with theKICof 3.76 MPa m1/2.

The effect of the Al2O3 additive on the densification behavior, microstructure and mechanical properties of the B4C–xwt%Al2O3 composites sintered by means of spark plasma sintering (SPS) process were investigated. It was found that addition of Al2O3 improve the sinterability of B4C at temperatures between 1700 and 1800°C remarkably. The composite samples which with an addition of 4 wt% Al2O3 and sintering at 1750°C exhibits excellent mechanical properties (relative density: 98.82%, hardness: 90.6 HRA).
