Titanium dioxide has been made by using sintering method with variation of temperature sintering. This method uses 100 % of Titanium dioxide powder as the raw material. The Titanium dioxide powder was pulverized by using High Energy Milling for one hour and continued with compacted to form a pellet by dry pressing with 8 tons force. Then the pellets were sintered by using electrical furnace with variation of temperature of 700°C, 850°C and 1000°C. The characterization of sintered samples includes measurement of density, porosity, hardness and XRD. The results show that the sintered 700°C sample has the smallest density of 1.94 g/cu.cm and the largest porosity 20 % and hardness 228 Hv. For the sintered 1000°C samplehas greatest density of 2.38 g/cu.cm and smallest porosity of 15.9% and hardness 276 Hv. The results of the phase anlysis with XRD show that the dominant phase is anatase and minor phase is rutile
