The nanostructured ceramic composites based on TiCsingle bondTiB₂ have attracted a great interest during recent years because they exhibit superior properties combining high hardness and good wear resistance. Here we demonstrate the possibility of producing TiCsingle bondTiB₂single bondZrO₂single bondAl₂O₃ based ceramic composites via self-propagating high-temperature synthesis by extrusion method (SHS-extrusion). The effect of reactant composition on the microstructure of obtained composites was studied. According to X-ray diffraction (XRD) the synthesized ceramic composites consist of TiC, TiB₂, ZrO₂ (monoclinic and tetragonal), and Al₂O₃ phases. ZrO₂ and Al₂O₃ phases form eutectic consisting of extended filaments up to 100 nm in thickness and 2–3 μm in length. TiC and TiB₂ grains with sizes of 1–2 μm surround the filaments. The composite materials were used as electrodes for electric-spark deposition. The deposited coatings have high wear resistance (1 × 10⁻⁵ mm³/N/m) and low friction coefficient (0.2).
