In this paper, nano-Ti3SiC2/MoSi2 composite, whose second phase was 20-150nm, was in situ prepared by mechanical activation (MA) and SPS process with the quaternary powers of Mo, Si, Ti, and C. The results showed that: (1) matrix MoSi2 has strong repulsion to other elements, which leads to more second-phase particles inside the matrix rather than on the matrix surface; (2) matrix MoSi2 has strong restriction on the growing of the second phase, which makes the particle diameter of the second phase inside the matrix only in 200 nm around, while that over the surface reaches to 800 nm around.
