High frequency induction heated sintering (HFIHS) method is one of the rapid sintering methods. The advantage of rapid sintering method is that grain growth can be prevented during sintering at high temperature. Refinement of grains was known to increase the yield and flow stresses of crystals. The relation between the yield stress and the grain size is known as Hall-Petch relation. NbC-10vol.%Co, Ni and Fe composites were fabricated by HFIHS at 1060°C for 0 and 3 min as holding times under a pressure of 80MPa.The relative density of NbC-10vol.%Co, Ni and Fe composites which were sintered at 1060°C for 0min as holding time under 80MPa were 91.90%, 91.26% and 91.26%, respectively. These composites are difficult to use industrial parts due to low relative density. The longer sintering time was conducted for increasing relative density in this study. Nano-sized specimens, which were calculated grain size by full-width at half maximum (FWHM), can be obtained by HFIHS. The value of hardness and fracture toughness was investigated using 20kgf load Vickers indenter.

Hard materials, in particular tungsten carbide ( WC ) hard material has been used in many industries as cutting tool and abrasive materials. For improving toughness, binders are added into carbide materials. The effect of Co as binder on the mechanical properties in the nanosized WC was discussed. The hardness and fracture toughness were also investigated using 30 kgf load Vickers indenter. The nanosized WC-8 , 10 and 12 vol.% Co composites were successfully fabricated without grain growth by high frequency induction heated sintering (HFIHS), which is the rapid sintering method, due to short sintering time 1140°C. The nanosized WC–Co composites fabricated by HFIHS have better mechanical properties than WC–Co composite fabricated by commercial sintering.

The current concern about WC focuses on its low fracture toughness below the ductile-brittle transition temperature despite its many attractive properties. To improve its mechanical properties, the approach generally utilized has been the addition of a second phase to form composites and to make nanostructured materials. In this paper, graphene was evaluated as the reinforcing agent in WC ceramics using a novel sintering method (high-frequency induction heated sintering method). Highly dense nanostructured WC and WC-graphene composites were obtained within two min at 1550 °C. The effect of graphene on the grain size and the mechanical properties (hardness and fracture toughness) of WC-graphene composites was evaluated.

A dense nanostuctured Fe3Al was consolidated by high frequency induction heated sintering method within 2 minutes from mechanically synthesized powders of Fe3Al and milled powders of 3Fe+Al. The consolidation was accomplished under the combined effects of a induced current and mechanical pressure. The grain size, sintering behavior and hardness of Fe3Al sintered from horizontally milled Fe+Al powders and high energy ball milled Fe3Al powder were compared.

The rapid sintering of nanostuctured SiC hard materials was investigated with high-frequency induction heating sintering process. The advantage of this process is that it allows very quick densification to near theoretical density and prohibition of grain growth in nanostuctured materials. A dense nanostructured SiC hard material was produced with simultaneous application of 500 MPa pressure and induced current within 2 minutes. The effect of the ball milling times on the sintering behavior, grain size and mechanical properties of binderless SiC was investigated.

A dense nanostructured 5NbSi2-SiC-Si3N4 composite was synthesized by the high-frequency induction-heated combustion synthesis (HFIHCS) method within 1 minute in one step from mechanically activated powders of 4NbN, NbC and 14Si. A highly dense 5NbSi2-SiC-Si3N4 composite with relative density of up to 98% was produced under the simultaneous application of a pressure of 80 MPa and the induced current. The average grain size and mechanical properties (hardness and fracture toughness) of the composite were investigated.
