Spark Plasma Sintering (SPS) represents a very attractive technique for the obtainment of dense materials including nanostructured ones. SPS basically consists in the simultaneous application of a pulsed DC current and an uniaxial mechanical load through a powder compact. Other than providing rapid Joule heating and likely enhancing mass transport through electromigration, the imposed pulsed high current is also reported to generate a plasma within the voids surrounding the powder particles, thus facilitating the removal of oxides surface layers that may hinder the sintering process. Selected results obtained through SPS in our laboratory for the preparation of a wide variety of materials, i.e. TiC-TiB2, MgB2, and NbAl3, will be presented in this work. Specifically, all the chosen examples are related to the use of the SPS technique for obtaining the desired material by simultaneously performing synthesis and consolidation stages in one-step.

The effect of mechanical and field activation on the synthesis of dense nanometric MoSi2 was investigated. Powders of Mo and Si, milled separately or comilled in a planetary ball mill, were reacted in a spark plasma synthesis (SPS) apparatus under different electric current conditions. Milled powders reacted faster and required less current than unmilled powders. Mixtures of powders which were milled separately (to nanometric size) reacted in the SPS to produce micrometric α–MoSi2. Similar results were obtained for samples comilled to produce nanometric reactants which did not contain detectable amounts of the product phase. When products form during milling, they contain both the α and β modifications of MoSi2. The product after the SPS reaction was nanometric MoSi2 with a crystallite size of 140 nm.
