In this paper, copper matrix composites which reinforced with different content of titanium carbide were produced by powder metallurgy method. Change in mechanical and electrical properties of composites with variation of TiC amount was investigated. Composites were produced at low reinforcement content to prevent reduction of electrical conductivity. Distribution of TiC particles in copper matrix was investigated with optical microscopy technique. Phases in the composites were determined by X-Ray diffraction analysis. The bulk density, hardness and electrical conductivity of composites were measured and the effect of reinforcement ratio on these properties was investigated.
