A complex titanium-silicon carbide of the Ti3SiC2 composition was synthesized using various starting components in a high-temperature furnace at 1400°C for 1 h and by subsequent hot pressing at a temperature of 1350°C and a pressure of 30 MPa for 15 min. The content of Ti3SiC2 was calculated by the Rietveld method, with the Ti:Si:TiC ratio reaching 1:1.2:1.8 98.6 vol.% after hot pressing. The microstructure and phase composition of hot-pressed materials, as well as the physical and mechanical characteristics of sintered and hot-pressed Ti3SiC2-based materials, were studied.
