The effect of the compositions in raw materials on the products was investigated. Ti3AlC2/TiC-Al2O3 composite was obtained at the molar ratio of TiO2:Al:C=3.0:5.0~5.1:1.8~2.0. The reaction path for the 3TiO2-5Al- 2C system was proposed. Al3Ti, Ti203, TiO, and 6-Al2O3 are found to be transitional phases.
