Al{sub 2}O{sub 3}{bond}TiC ceramic composites were fabricated by high-pressure self combustion sintering (HPCS). The samples had a unique microstructure which was quite different from that of a commercial Al{sub 2}O{sub 3}{bond}TiC materials made by conventional processing. A possible mechanism for combustion reaction is suggested on the basis of the microstructure of the samples and the thermodynamical data. The HPCS sample had a higher {ital K}{sub I{ital C}} value than commercial Al{sub 2}O{sub 3}{bond}TiC materials.
