Powder of Ti-46at%Al alloy was synthesized through mechanical activation (MA) and then sintered and concurrently consolidated in a short sintering time of 900 s by using spark plasma sintering (SPS) process. The XRD and SEM profiles show that the microstructures of TiAl alloys contained γ TiAl and small amount α-2 Ti3Al phase, whose amount can be controlled by the sintering temperature. The compacts retained the original fine-grained fully densified bodies by avoiding an excessively high sintering temperature. The alloys sintered at higher temperature with this process showed a coarser microstructure. So it is possible to produce dense nanostructured TiAl alloys by mechanically activated spark plasma sintering (MASPS) within a very short period of time.

Fine-grained W-6Ni-4Mn alloys were fabricated by spark plasma sintering (SPS) using mechanical milling W, Ni and Mn composite powders. The relative density of W-6Ni-4Mn alloy increases from 71.56% to 99.60% when it is sintered at a low temperature range of 1000–1200 °C for 3 min. The spark plasma sintering process of the alloy can be divided into three stages, which clarify the densification process of powder compacts. As the sintering temperature increases, the average W grain size increases but remains at less than 7 µm and the distribution of the binding phase is uniform. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) observation reveals that the W-6Ni-4Mn alloy consists of the tungsten phase and the γ-(Ni, Mn, W) binding phase. As the sintering temperature increases, the Rockwell hardness and bending strength of alloys initially increases and then decreases. The optimum comprehensive hardness and bending strength of the alloy are obtained at 1150 °C. The main fracture mode of the alloys is W/W interface fracture.

TiAl alloy with a composition of Ti-43Al-5V-4Nb-Y (at.%) was prepared by spark plasma sintering (SPS). The TiAl powders were sintered between 650°C and 1300°C for 5 min under different loads. With the increasing of the temperature, the diffusion of the elements can be observed. Full compaction is achieved in a short period of time and the overall processing duration does not exceed 30 min. A fully lamellar structure was seen in the TiAl alloy after heat treatment. The microstructures of the samples were determined by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. Their mechanical properties were evaluated by tensile tests performed at room temperature

This work deals with the consolidation of a TiAl alloy powder by spark plasma sintering (SPS). Pre-alloyed powder with a composition of Ti–48Al–2Cr–2Nb (at.%) was consolidated in a SPS furnace at temperatures between 1200[Formula: see text]C and 1325[Formula: see text]C and with a pressure of 50 MPa. The microstructures obtained after SPS depend on the sintering temperature. Tensile tests at room temperature were performed. The alloy SPSed at temperatures not less than 1250[Formula: see text]C exhibits good properties at room temperature.

In this paper, the MgAlON ceramic was fabricated by Spark Plasma Sintering (SPS) and hot press sintering respectively. The results showed that highly pure and single-phase MgAlON could be fabricated at lower sintering temperature in a short period through SPS process, compared with the conventional Hot Press sintering (HP) process. The bending strength of MgAlON specimens prepared by SPS process was higher than 500MPa while bending strength of HP specimens was much lower. The open porosity was almost eliminated in SPS MgAlON specimens. Spark Plasma Sintered MgAlON had a single phase of MgAlON while Hot Press Sintered MgAlON had major MgAlON and minor AlN and Al2O3.

Primary Advantage

In order to fabricate fine-grained and dense nanoceramic materials, the effect of spark-plasma-sintering (SPS) conditions was examined in MgAl2O4 spinel as a reference material. The SPS conditions, such as heating rate and loading temperature, strongly affected the microstructures. Although the density can be improved with decreasing the heating rate to less than 10 °C/min, it requires a long processing time. In order to fully utilize the high heating rate that is a primary advantage of the SPS technique, load controlling is very effective to achieve high density with maintaining fine grain size. An increase in the loading temperature during SPS processing can reduce the residual porosity in a spinel even at the widely used high heating rate of 100 °C/min. This suggests that for the SPS processing in ceramics, the load controlling is an important factor as well as the heating rate and sintering temperature.
