Electrical field diffusion effect, Joule heating, spark impact pressure, and spark plasma are generated by this large current pulse energizing technique. High thermo-efficiency, spontaneous heating, ...

DETAILED DESCRIPTION Field Assisted Sintering Technology/Spark Plasma Sintering (FAST/SPS) uses a DC electric current to directly heat the mould and/or sample through Joule heating. This direct ...

Previously, during the liquid phase of sintering, the formation of the final phases from the mixture of oxides and nitrides that compromise the starting material was driven by chemical forces. Small ...

Recently, Songlin Ran et al. from Anhui University of Technology, China reported the joining of B 4 C–TiB 2 composite ceramics by spark plasma sintering (SPS) with Ti foil as an intermediate layer.
