Abstract: Taking titanium powders, powdered sulfur and graphite powders as raw materials and aluminite powders as auxiliary agents, Ti2SC powders were successfully synthesized by self-propagating high-temperature synthesis and a ball-milling process. And then, layered ternary compound Ti2SC bulk material was prepared using Ti2SC powders as raw materials by spark plasma sintering at different temperatures and holding time. The phases and morphology of Ti2SC powders were investigated, as well as the effects of sintering temperature and holding time on mechanical properties and fracture morphology of the bukl material. The results show Ti2SC powders had higher activity, and a little by-products TiC and Ti3S4 were found. The bulk material sintered at 1 250 ℃ for 5 min exhibited excellent mechanical properties, and its density, Vichers′ hardness and fracture toughness were 4.57 g·cm-3, 8.61 GPa and 5.81 MPa·m1/2, respectively; Its fracture morphology was composed of both laminar and columanar grains.
