Results are given for a study of compaction and phase formation in a mechanically activated powder system based on titanium, silicon carbide, and carbon with different plasma-arc sintering parameters. It is shown that plasma-arc sintering of mechanically activated 3Ti–1.25SiC–0.75C mixture in a molar ratio at 1300°C provides formation of dense material containing the maximum amount of titanium carbosilicide. The consolidated material consists of lamellar structure Ti3SiC2 and microcrystalline Ti x C y grains.
