The influence of spark plasma sintering (SPS) conditions on the optical and mechanical properties of MgAl2O4 spinel was investigated for application to infrared windows as parts of military systems. The thermal conditions of SPS, including the temperature and heating rate, have a significant impact on optical and mechanical properties. This study shows that the formation and growth of abnormal grains cause mechanical degradation with an increasing SPS temperature. In-line transmittance (Tin) was affected by the heating rate due to changes in oxygen vacancy and carbon contamination in SPSed samples. The fabricated spinel exhibited excellent flexural strength of 401 MPa and an average mid-infrared transmittance of 84.8% in the range of 3–5 μm.

Transparent bioceramics have great potential for applications in the biomedical field as they facilitate direct observation of the interactions at biomaterial – cell / tissue interfaces. Thus far, sintering of transparent hydroxyapatite (HA) usually involves application of extraordinarily high pressure and / or long duration. This study attempts to fabricate transparent HA by a direct and fast Spark Plasma Sintering (SPS) process using three different types of raw powder: micro-spheres (MS), nanorods (NR) and nanospheres (NS). The optical and mechanical properties of the sintered pellets were examined and compared. The highest total forward transmittance (TFT) showed by sintered MS pellet (~2 mm thick) was 85% in the visible spectrum, whereas sintered NR and NS pellets were either translucent or opaque. Although lowest degree of transparency was observed for NS pellets, they demonstrated highest Young’s modulus (E), hardness (H) and fracture toughness (KIC). The eminent KIC of NS pellets benefited mainly from its self-toughened microstructure.

<p class="AMSmaintext"><span lang="EN-GB">This work deals with preparation of intermetallic alloy TiAl15Si15 (wt. %) by powder metallurgy using Spark Plasma Sintering method. Ti-Al-Si alloys are known as materials with low density, relatively good mechanical properties in comparison with their density and good oxidation and corrosion resistance at elevated temperatures. Preparation of intermetallics by melting metallurgy is very problematic. Powder metallurgy using reactive sintering followed by suitable compaction seems to be a promising method. In this work, TiAl15Si15 alloy was prepared by reactive sintering, milling and by unique ultra-high pressure Spark Plasma Sintering within the framework of international cooperation in Krakow. For the comparison it was also prepared by conventional Spark Plasma Sintering. The results show that higher pressure of sintering decreases the porosity of compact sample and increases mechanical properties, especially hardness.</span></p>
