ZrB2 has some excellent physical performance and chemical stability, it has been widely applied in a lot of fields. In order to improve disadvantages of ZrB2 that the sintering densification of ZrB2 is too difficult, and it is easy oxidized at high temperature, in this paper, the sintering character of coated A12O3-Y2O3/ZrB2 composite powder materials via spark plasma sintering were investigated. Al2O3-Y2O3/ZrB2 composite powders were prepared by a co-precipitation methods. When the pH is 9, the encapsulted structure of A1(OH)3-Y(OH)3/ZrB2 composite powders is the best. By analyzing the ZrB2 surface status with TEM, the A12O3-Y2O3/ZrB2 composite powders were prepared under the calcining conditions of 600°C¡æ in argon. The high density ZrB2-YAG multi-phase ceramics are prepared via spark splama sintering, which indicate the raw materials adding A12O3-Y2O3 help for the densification of ZrB2 ceramics.

ZrB2, YAG and Al2O3 are widely applied because of some excellent performances, but ZrB2 is easily oxidized in the high-temperature air. To make the ZrB2 ceramics obtain better oxidation resistance, high-density ZrB2-YAG-Al2O3 ceramics were prepared. The influences of coated composite powders on the densification and the oxidation resistance of ZrB2-YAG-Al2O3 ceramics were investigated. The 80wt%ZrB2-YAG-Al2O3 multiphase ceramic materials from different composite raw materials with the spark plasma sintering technique were successfully prepared. The densification of ZrB2-YAG-Al2O3 ceramics with Al2O3-Y2O3 composite powder coated is easier than that of ZrB2-YAG-Al2O3 ceramics with YAG-Al2O3 powder mixed. The reaction temperature is lower than the 1100¡æ for synthesizing YAG powders from Al2O3-Y2O3 composite powders. The weight gain are increased with increased the oxidation temperature. B2O3 is reacted with Al2O3 to form Al18B4O33, Al18B4O33 is melted and coated on the surface of ceramics to form a protective layer for the oxidation resistance of ceramics at high temperature. The oxidation weight gain of ZrB2-YAG-Al2O3 ceramic with Al2O3-Y2O3 composite powder coated is lower than that of ZrB2-YAG-Al2O3 ceramic with YAG-Al2O3 powder mixed.

The composite ZrB2 powder coated A12O3-Y2O3 prepared by co-precipitation method were densified via the spark plasma sintering (SPS) and then researched the oxidation resistance at high temperature. ZrB2 powder must have the better dispersibility during the coating processing for obtaining the better coating effect. Effect of dispersant on the dispersibility of ZrB2 powder in the liquid is researched in this paper, the results show ZrB2 powder have the better dispersibility as the dispersant for PMAA and the content for 2vol%, which lay foundation for synthsising the better coating effect coated A12O3-Y2O3-ZrB2 composite powder.

The high temperature oxidation resistance of Cr-ZrO2-Al2O3 composites fabricated by mechanical alloying and spark plasma sintering (SPS) has been evaluated. Composite powders were prepared by ball milling Cr-5vol%ZrO2-50vol%Al2O3 powder mixtures. Powders were compacted by SPS in less than 5 min, so that a particular metal-ceramic interpenetrating network is obtained. High temperature oxidation tests (900-1100 0C) in air have revealed good oxidation resistance (1.8, 2.6 and 15.3 mg/cm2 at 900, 1000 and 1100 °C, respectively) due to a protective Cr2O3 layer. EDX analysis revealed that Cr diffusion takes place at 1100 oC from the bulk towards the composite surface leading to Cr depletion at near-surface zones. Chromium contained in the bulk tends to oxidize through oxygen diffusion apparently occurring along the grain boundaries.

Due the rapid heating rate combined with high pressure by the Spark Plasma Sintering (SPS) technologies possible manufacture a wide range of novel materials with exceptional properties that cannot be achieved using conventional sintering techniques. Hard metals are, from a technical point of view, one of the most successful composite materials. An overview of the metallurgical reactions during the SPS sintering process of powder mixtures for the manufacture of hard metals is presented. The relatively complex phase reactions in the multi-component system TiC-Mo-W-Ni are discussed. There were elaborated a new technology for the fabrication of nanocrystalline hard metals of a new class assigned for the production of articles with high different characteristics. Elaborated materials are characterized by high melting temperature, hardness, wear-resistance, and satisfactory strength at high temperature and corrosive resistance. Through the use of developed technology and the appropriate structural condition gives possibility to achieve high physical-mechanical characteristics. Obtaining of composite materials via elaborated technology is available from the corresponding complex compounds and directly consisting elements too. In this case High-temperature Self-propagation Synthesis (SHS) and spark plasma sintering/synthesis (SPS) process are united and during a single operation it is possible to get not only the powder materials but at the same time obtain required details.

Spark Plasma Sintering (SPS) is a technology used for fast consolidation of metallic, ceramic, and composite powders. The upscaling of this technology requires a reduction in energy consumption and homogenization of temperature in compacts. The application of Carbon Fiber-Reinforced Carbon (CFRC) insulating plates between the sintering setup and the electrodes is frequently considered as a measure to attain these goals. However, the efficiency of such a practice remains largely unexplored so far. In the present paper, the impact of CFRC plates on required power, total sintering energy, and temperature distribution was investigated by experiments and by Finite Element Modeling (FEM). The study was performed at a temperature of 1000 °C with a graphite dummy mimicking an SPS setup. A rather moderate influence of CFRC plates on power and energy demand was found. Furthermore, the cooling stage becomes considerably longer. However, the application of CFRC plates leads to a significant reduction in the axial temperature gradient. The comparative analysis of experimental and modeling results showed the good capability of the FEM method for prediction of temperature distribution and required electric current. However, a discrepancy between measured and calculated voltage and power was found. This issue must be further investigated, considering the influence of AC harmonics in the DC field.
