    Fully dense Al<inf>2</inf>TiO<inf>5</inf>–Al<inf>2</inf>O<inf>3</inf>–TiN (ATN) composites were fabricated by reactive sintering using spark plasma sintering at 1400°C for 5 min under 100 MPa in vacuum. An equimolar ratio of Al<inf>2</inf>O<inf>3</inf>:TiO<inf>2</inf> was used as the starting powder, while the addition of 0–36 mol% AlN was investigated. The thermodynamic calculation indicates that the initial reaction was that of TiO<inf>2</inf> and AlN, forming TiN and Al<inf>2</inf>O<inf>3</inf>, and then the remaining TiO<inf>2</inf> reacted with Al<inf>2</inf>O<inf>3</inf> to produce Al<inf>2</inf>TiO<inf>5</inf>. With the increase in AlN precursor, Al<inf>2</inf>TiO<inf>5</inf> gradually decreased, while Al<inf>2</inf>O<inf>3</inf> and TiN increased. The lattice parameters of Al<inf>2</inf>TiO<inf>5</inf> were enlarged with AlN addition, implying the incorporation of N atoms in the Al<inf>2</inf>TiO<inf>5</inf> unit cell. The addition of AlN effectively produced fully densified bodies with small grain size, and microcrack-free, which therefore enhanced the mechanical properties of ATN composites. At 36 mol% AlN addition, the composite shows Vickers hardness and fracture toughness of 16.26 ± 1.61 GPa and 5.20 ± 0.46 MPa.m<sup>1/2</sup>, respectively.
