The composite in Al
4SiC
4-AlN and Al
4SiC
4-AlN-C system were sintered by a spark plasma sintering method. The powders of metal Al, Si and carbon black and AlN as starting materials were mixed. The mixture was calcined at 1300°C and sintered at 1600° to 1800°C by spark plasma sintering. Shrinkage during sintering, density, microstructure and phase of sintered bodies were measured. X-ray diffraction analysis gave Al
5SiC
4N (15R) and AlN (2H) phases in the bodies sintered at 1750°C. Densification did not occur in some composition in 50 to 80% AlN of the system Al
4SiC
4-AlN, but their densification was accelerated by addition of carbon. By the analysis of shrinkage during sintering and SEM observation of microstructure, the grain of Al
5SiC
4N (15R) and AlN (2H) grew, and pore exclusion was obstructed in the system Al
4SiC
4-AlN, though the grain did not grow, and pore exclusion was accelerated in the system Al
4SiC
4-AlN-C.
