This paper reports the result of investigation carried out on the synthesis and densification of Cerium hexaboride. CeB₆ was synthesized by boron carbidereduction of CeO₂ in presence of carbon. Effect of temperature on product quality was investigated. Pure CeB6 powder was obtained at 1600 °C, invacuum.It was found that CeBO₃ is formed as an intermediate phase during CeB₆ synthesis. Spark plasmas intering of CeB₆ powder at1900 °C and 70 MPa resulted in a density of only 93.4% of theoretical value. Addition of 5% TiSi₂ resulted in 97.4% of theoretical density at the lower temperature of 1650 °C. Hardness and fracture toughness of the composite was measured as 21.08GPa and 3.8 MPa .m^1/2 respectively. Fractured surface of the composite reveals the mode of fracture to be transgranular.SEM and EDS analysis indicate the presence of TiSi₂ in CeB₆ matrix.
