Dense conductive ceramic composites of MgAl 2 O 4 and MoSi 2 were processed using combustion synthesis under‐load methodology. The starting reactants were blends of MoO 3 , SiO 2 , MgO , and A l powders. The study revealed that to obtain dense composite with homogeneous microstructure, 30 wt. % of MoSi 2 , 18.5 μm A l average particle size, and 175 MPa load are required. The produced dense composite was found to have a low apparent porosity (<1.0 vol. %), moderate density 4.61 g/cm 3 , and low electrical resistivity 0.3 Ωcm. The dense composite exhibited excellent thermodynamic stability between its phases at 1400°C in open atmosphere.
