Mechanical alloying (MA) synthesis of Ti 3 SiC 2 from a stoichiometric elemental powder mixture of Ti, Si, and C was conducted by using a planetary mill with a specially designed MA jar, which enables the real‐time measurement of temperature and gas pressure during the MA process. Sudden gas pressure and temperature rises were detected when the mixed powders were mechanically alloyed for a certain period, and consequently a large amount of Ti 3 SiC 2 particles was synthesized. Using the Ti–Si–C system as an example, the present study confirmed the combustion reaction triggered by the ball‐milling process for the first time.
