Commercial micrometer Al2O3 powder was sintered at 1550 °C under a mechanical pressure of 30 MPa by pulse electric current sintering (PECS). Microstructure observation was performed on polished, thermal-etched cross sections parallel to the direction of mechanical pressure. Platelike Al2O3 grains formed when the powder was heated at a heating rate of 5 °C/min, while a heating rate of 200 °C/min resulted in equiaxed grains. These results indicated that PECS is an effective approach to hinder grain growth by application of a higher heating rate. However, Al2O3 grains at the upper edge were larger than those at the side edge of the samples in both cases. It implied that there were different temperatures at the upper edge and the side edge of the Al2O3 powder compacts during the PECS process.

The reduction mechanism of particle surface oxide films on Al–Mg alloy specimens sintered by the pulse electric current sintering (PECS) process was investigated via transmission electron microscopy, energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy, and thermodynamic calculation. The reduction products were either MgAl2O4 or MgO or both, which is dependent on the sintering temperature and Mg content in Al–Mg alloy. Comparing the experimental temperature of the reduction products with that from thermodynamic calculation, it was suggested that the temperature at interfaces between particles was higher than that inside particles. This difference of temperature enhanced reduction of surface oxide films of Al–Mg alloy powders and hence accelerated the sintering in the PECS process.
