A microstructure evolution model for the ceramic materials was constructed, and the spark plasma sintering parameters were optimized using the model to shorten the designing period and reduce the consumption of the material. Based on the optimized sintering parameters, the ceramic tool material with a composition of Al 2 O 3 , TiB 2 , and TiC proved to be a success. It verified that the materials prepared under the optimized sintering parameters exhibited excellent mechanical properties. The results showed when sintered at 1600 • C, under the pressure of 40 MPa and with the holding period of 7 min, the materials with 70% Al 2 O 3 , 20% TiB 2 , and 10% nano-TiC possess the relatively best performance, with the hardness, fracture toughness, and flexure strength being 20.3 GPa, 10.5 MPa/m 2 , and 839.5 MPa, respectively.
