This article presents new findings related to the problem of the introduction of MXene phases into the silicon carbide matrix. The addition of MXene phases, as shown by the latest research, can significantly improve the mechanical properties of silicon carbide, including fracture toughness. Low fracture toughness is one of the main disadvantages that significantly limit its use. As a part of the experiment, two series of composites were produced with the addition of 2D-Ti<sub>3</sub>C<sub>2</sub>T<sub>x</sub> MXene and 2D-Ti<sub>3</sub>C<sub>2</sub>T<sub>x</sub> surface-modified MXene with the use of the sol-gel method with a mixture of Y<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>/Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> oxides. The composites were obtained with the powder metallurgy technique and sintered with the Spark Plasma Sintering method at 1900 °C. The effect adding MXene phases had on the mechanical properties and microstructure of the produced sinters was investigated. Moreover, the influence of the performed surface modification on changes in the properties of the produced composites was determined. The analysis of the obtained results showed that during sintering, the MXene phases oxidize with the formation of carbon flakes playing the role of reinforcement.
