Abstract: Ti3SiC2 material with high purity and density was fabricated by the spark plasma sintering with the addition of aluminium. The proper addition of Al accelerates the synthesis reaction and the crystal growth of Ti3SiC2, and increases the purity of synthesized samples. At the heating rate of 80℃/min and under the pressure of SOMPa, the ideal synthesis temperature ranges from 1150℃ to 1250℃. Ti3SiC2 obtained is in plane-shape with the size of 5-25μm.
