Microstructural change of TiB2-Cu nanocomposite during spark plasma sintering (SPS) was investigated. Under simultaneous action of pressure, temperature and pulse electric current titanium diboride nanoparticles distributed in copper matrix move, agglomerate and form a interpenetrating phase composite with a fine-grained skeleton. Increase of SPS temperatures and holding times promotes the densification of sintered compacts due to local melting of copper matrix.
