Titanium carbide and composites and functionally graded materials (FGMs) of TiC– x Cu were synthesized by an electrothermal combustion (ETC) method. TiC synthesized by ETC showed small amounts of porosity relative to those synthesized by ignition using radiative heating. Composites and FGMs with higher copper content can be synthesized by ETC. In the FGM products a nearly linear change in composition in the graded region was observed in samples with 0 ≤ x (wt%) ≤ 75.
