Ultra‐high temperature ceramics (UHTCs) exhibit a number of properties (thermal and chemical stability, high strength and hardness, ablation/oxidation and thermal shock resistance) for sustained use in the extreme environments experienced by re‐entry space vehicles. The spark plasma sintering (SPS) was considered as a new processible fast approach to develop structural ceramics with improved ultra‐high temperature capabilities.
