Spark plasma sintering (SPS) is a newly developed technique that enables poorly sinterable tin oxide powder to be fully densified. Sintering without sintering aids is of great importance when SnO2ceramics are used as electrodes in the glass melting industry and aluminum electrometallurgy. Dense and good-conductive Antimony-doped SnO2 ceramics can be achieved by SPS at a lower sintering temperature and in a shorter time. When the Sb2O3concentration is 1.0 mol%, the densities of the samples reach their maximum value, which is 98.2% of the theoretical value. When the content of Sb2O3was 2.44mol%, SnO2ceramics with densities 97.6% can be obtained at 800°C-1000°C, and the resistivity was about 5.19×10-2Ω.cm at the sintering temperature of 1000°C. Defined amount of Sb3+used in our research are beneficial to low the sintering temperature and promote the densification of SnO2ceramics

This article focuses on exploring how the electrical conductivity and densification properties of metallic samples made from aluminum (Al) powders reinforced with 0.5 wt % concentration of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and consolidated through spark plasma sintering (SPS) process are affected by the carbon nanotubes dispersion and the Al particles morphology. Experimental characterization tests performed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and by energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) show that the MWCNTs were uniformly ball-milled and dispersed in the Al surface particles, and undesirable phases were not observed in X-ray diffraction measurements. Furthermore, high densification parts and an improvement of about 40% in the electrical conductivity values were confirmed via experimental tests performed on the produced sintered samples. These results elucidate that modifying the powder morphology using the ball-milling technique to bond carbon nanotubes into the Al surface particles aids the ability to obtain highly dense parts with increasing electrical conductivity properties.

Dispersion-strengthened copper with TiB2 was produced by ball-milling and spark plasma sintering (SPS).Ball-milling was performed at a rotation speed of 300rpm for 30 and 60min in Ar atmosphere by using a planetary ball mill (AGO-2). Spark-plasma sintering was carried out at 650°C for 5min under vacuum after mechanical alloying. The hardness of the specimens sintered using powder ball milled for 60min at 300rpm increased from 16.0 to 61.8 HRB than that of specimen using powder mixed with a turbular mixer, while the electrical conductivity varied from 93.40% to 83.34%IACS. In the case of milled powder, hardness increased as milling time increased, while the electrical conductivity decreased. On the other hand, hardness decreased with increasing sintering temperature, but the electrical conductiviey increased slightly

Ag1-xPbmSbTe2+m (m = 6, 10, 18; x = 0, 0.5, 0.75) compounds were prepared by melting-spark plasma sintering (SPS) process. The effects of m and x on the thermoelectric properties of the compounds were investigated. The results indicate that all samples are n-type conduction. For Ag1-xPb18SbTe20 (x = 0, 0.5, 0.75), the electrical conductivity decreases, whereas Seebeck coefficient increases, with increasing Ag concentration. For AgPbmSbTe2+m (m = 6, 10, 18), as m increases, the Seebeck coefficient slightly decreases and the electrical conductivity increases first, with a maximum at m =10, and then decreases. The thermal conductivity increases with increasing m.

NiAl2O4-metal composite material is an effective candidate for anodes used in industrial production of aluminium as a substitute for graphite anodes. NiAl2O4-Cu-Ni anode was prepared by spark plasma sintering in present paper. According to the density and electrical conductivity of the anodes, the optimal process parameters were given and the result showed that sintering temperature had the most significant influence on the properties of the inert anodes. Moreover, NiO was added to the inert anodes. The results showed that adding NiO will highly increase electrical conductivity of the inert anodes. SEM and optical microscope were applied to study the mechanism of the effect of NiO on the inert anodes.
