Spark Plasma Sintering (SPS), also known as pulsed electric current sintering (PECS) or field assisted sintering technology (FAST), belongs to a class of powder metallurgy methods. Investigations of the effect of thermal, electric and electromagnetic fields arising under the conditions of spark plasma sintering of ceramic materials on their final characteristics are of important fundamental scientific significance. In this regard, the work investigated the effect of the IPA temperature on the structure, composition and magnetic properties of hematite α-Fe2O3 of high purity 99.995%. Changes in the structure and composition of ceramic specimens under SPS conditions in the temperature range 800-1000°C are described by scanning electron microscopy and X-ray phase analysis. The magnetic properties are studied and the regularities of changes of the magnetization (Ms) and coercive force (Hc) under the influence of an external magnetic field for ceramic samples are determined depending on the temperature of the SPS. These results can be considered as initial study of the process of consolidation of materials with weak ferromagnetism under conditions of spark plasma sintering.

Bulk isotropic and anisotropic Nd13.5Fe80.4Ga0.5B5.6 and Nd13.5Fe80.4Ga0.5B5.6/Fe magnets were synthesized by applying spark plasma sintering (SPS) technique. The effect of hot-pressing temperature on the magnetic properties of hot-pressed (HP) and hot-deformed (HD) magnets without additive and with 5% Fe addition was investigated. With increasing sintering temperature for HP magnets, the grain grew gradually. For HD magnets, the optimal magnetic properties could be obtained at hot-pressing temperature 680°C due to the development of desired c-axis texture and uniform microstructure, which resulted from the appropriate and uniform grain size in HP magnets. Fe addition could enhance remanence (Br) and magnetic energy products ((BH)m) of HP and HD magnets. However, the maximum magnetic energy product of HD magnets decreased when hot-pressing temperature was higher than 650°C.

Summarizing the work of nearly a decade of research on spark plasma sintering (SPS), a review is given on the specificities and key factors to be considered in SPS of ceramic materials, based on the authors’ own research. Alumina is used primarily as a model material throughout the review. Intrinsic inhomogeneities linked to SPS and operational parameters, which depend on the generation of atomistic scale defects, are discussed in detail to explain regularly observed inhomogeneities reported in literature. Adopting an engineering approach to overcome these inherent issues, a successful processing path is laid out towards the mastering of SPS in a wide range of research and industrial settings.
