Highly textured Ti2AlN ceramic was successfully fabricated by edge-free spark plasma sintering (EFSPS) of Ti2AlN discs synthesized by thermal explosion (TE). The orientation degree of as-sintered Ti2AlN ceramic was evaluated by X-ray diffraction and electron backscattered diffraction. It was found that the preferred orientation of Ti2AlN grains paralleled to the SPS-loading direction was along the c-axis and the Lotgering orientation factor on the textured top surface was as high asf(001) = 0.80. Due to the highly textured microstructure, the obtained Ti2A1N ceramic showed anisotropic mechanical and physical properties. The results highlight the advantages of EFSPS combined with TE technique.
