Spark plasma sintering technique was used for the consolidation of nanostructured titanium carbide synthesized by mechanical alloying in order to avoid any important grain growth of the compact materials. The TiC phase was obtained after about 2 h of mechanical alloying. Towards the end of the milling process (20 h), the nanocrystalline powders reached a critical size value of less than 5 nm. Some physical and mechanical properties of the consolidated carbide were reported as a function of the starting grain size powders obtained after different mechanical alloying durations. The crystalline grain size of the bulk samples was found to be increased to a maximum of 120 nm and 91 nm for carbides mechanically alloyed for 2 h and 20 h respectively. The Vickers hardness showed to be improved to about 2700 Hv for a maximum density of 95.1% of the bulk material.
