Abstract
A densification of the bulk material obtained from powders prepared by a combustion technique using pressureless sintering occurs with some secondary phenomena such as liquid-phase reactions with transient inte rmetallic phase and recrystalization of grains. As a result, the mater ial with controlled microstructure in form of particulate composites, consisting of Ti3SiC2 matrix and TiC inclusions, can be obtained. This paper reports SEM and EDS studies of microstructure development durin g sintering.
