We study the influence of the conditions of high-voltage electric discharge treatment of an initial powder mixture in kerosene and ethanol on the structure, phase composition, hardness, microhardness, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance of Ti–TiC metal matrix composites consolidated by the spark plasma sintering method. It is shown that, in the case of application of the “point–plane” electrode system in kerosene and alcohol media, an increase in the specific energy up to 20 MJ/kg leads to the accumulation of free carbon, which negatively affects both the spark plasma sintering and the properties of the obtained metal-matrix composite.
