Intra-type structure of ceramic matrix composites (CMCs) can improve the mechanical properties of ceramic materials. In this work, we used γ-alumina as a matrix including nano-pore for fabricating alumina/silicon carbide composites using pressure-less sintering and pulse electric current sintering (PECS) techniques. We added α-alumina as a seed in order to improve densification of this commercially available γ-alumina. The mixture was sintered from 1250 to 1450 by pressure-less sintering and PECS techniques. Densification of the specimen sintered by pressure-less sintering is very difficult and bulk density of the specimen sintered at 1450 showed lower than 3.0 g/cc. In the case of the PECS technique, the density was improved to 3.8 g/cc in seed added specimen sintered at 1450. Maximum Vickers hardness and maximum fracture strength were obtained 17 GPa and 500 MPa for the seed added specimens sintered at 1450, respectively.

Effect of the pulse electric current on mechanical properties of an ultra-high strength steel (UHSS) is experimentally investigated. A single pulse of electric current with a short duration of 0.36 sec is applied to the specimen under tensile plastic loading. The experimental result showed that flow stress of the UHSS nearly instantly drops at moment of electric current, following strain hardening until necking of the specimen. Uniform elongation completely depends on the pulsing strain, while ultimate tensile strength slightly changes after electric current.
