We report on an ultrarapid (6 s) consolidation of binder-less WC using a novel Ultrahigh temperature Flash Sintering (UFS) approach. The UFS technique bridges the gap between electric resistance sintering (≪1 s) and flash spark plasma sintering (20–60 s). Compared to the well-established spark plasma sintering, the proposed approach results in improved energy efficiency with massive energy and time savings while maintaining a comparable relative density (94.6%) and Vickers hardness of 2124 HV. The novelty of this work relies on (i) multiple steps current discharge profile to suit the rapid change of electrical conductivity experienced by the sintering powder, (ii) upgraded low thermal inertia CFC dies and (iii) ultra-high consolidation temperature approaching 2750 °C. Compared to SPS process, the UFS process is highly energy efficient (≈200 times faster and it consumes ≈95% less energy) and it holds the promise of energy efficient and ultrafast consolidation of several conductive refractory compounds.

Spark-plasma sintering (SPS) is an emerging powder consolidating technique which provides significant advantages to the processing of high temperature materials with poor deformability into configurations previously unattainable. Net-shaping capabilities of spark-plasma sintering are analyzed both theoretically and experimentally. Modeling and experimentation are conducted for cylindrical, prismatic, and complex powder specimen shapes. The impact of the “shape factor” on the non-uniformity of temperature, relative density, and grain size spatial distributions is analyzed. The modeling results are compared to the experimentally obtained data on the spark plasma sintering of high strength temperature resistant powder-based materials. The conducted research indicates the promising capabilities and addresses the challenges of spark-plasma sintering of complex-shape parts.
