The effects of boron or manganese added as , Mn, , B on TiC-30vo1.% cermet sintered at 1380 and for 1 hour, were examined in relation with shrinkage, relative density, microstructure, lattice parameter, hardness and fracture toughness (). The results are summarized as follows: 1) The highest shrink-age showed about 30.5% in the specimen added BC and the maximum relative density was about 99% in the specimen added ; 2) The grains of TiC were grown during sintering and made the surrounding structure by adding boron and manganese. The largest grain size showed about in the specimen with boron sintered at ;3) The lattice parameter of TiC was about and about by adding other elements; 4) The highest hardness was about in the specimen with B4C; 5) The fracture toughness () showed about in the specimen added .
