The Fe-C composites were fabricated by a combination of high-energy ball milling of Fe-C powder mixtures and plasma activated sintering process. An orthogonal experiment in four factors (including original powder composition, sintering temperature, applied pressure and holding time) and three levels was employed to investigate the effects of preparation technology on mechanical properties (bending strength and hardness) of the Fe-C composite. The experimental results show that the crystalline Fe3C phase can be produced by the rapid sintering process, though it is cannot form theoretically due to the high Gibbs free energy, and more or less holes and composition segregation phenomenon coexist in the composite. The original powder composition plays the leading role in both the mechanical properties of the Fe-C composites. However, the effects of the other parameters on the bending strength and hardness of the composite are somewhat different. The optimal technology combinations for the bending strength and hardness are obtained as follows: 50Fe+50Fe3C/1373 K/400 s/20 MPa and 50Fe+50Fe3C/50 MPa/1273 K/400 s, respectively.

The effects of plasma cycle and TiO2 doping on sintering kinetics during plasma activated sintering (PAS) of γ−Al2O3 have been studied in the temperature range of 1473–1823 K. Multiple plasma cycle leads to higher densification. Also, TiO2 doping enhances the sintering kinetics during PAS. In TiO2 doped specimens, near full density was obtained at 1673 K in less than 6 min using multiple plasma cycle. It is suggested that the dielectric properties of a material are critical for the success of the PAS process.
