Peculiarities of titanium carbide obtainment by high voltage electric discharge synthesis (HVED) are considered in present paper. Mathematical and physical modelling of processes that occur during HVED impact on “Ti powder – hydrocarbon liquid” disperse system is performed. HVED creates thermodynamic conditions for pyrolysis of hydrocarbon liquid with formation of solid-phase carbon and gaseous hydrogen and for synthesis of titanium carbide during reaction of carbidization between titanium and carbon particles. Regularities of connection between HVED parameters and changes of dispersity and intensity of titanium carbide formation.
