Titanium diboride–boron carbide (TiB 2 –B 4 C) composite ceramics were prepared using different amounts of Ni as sintering aids by pressureless sintering at 2100°C for 60 min under an argon atmosphere. This study focused on the effects of different amounts of Ni as additives on densification and mechanical and thermal properties of TiB 2 –B 4 C composite ceramics. Results showed that the relative density, hardness, flexural strength and thermal conductivity of obtained composite ceramics with 1.3 wt% Ni addition were 98%, 20.4 GPa, 330 MPa and 30 W/m K, respectively. However, fracture toughness was 6 MPa m 1/2 when the content of Ni was fixed at 2.2 wt%.
