In order to control the grain size of Cu-15.0Zn-8.1Al shape memory alloy, the spark plasma sintering (SPS) technique was applied. The sintering processes were carried out under different atmospheres with a different powder size. The sintered bodies were denser under the Ar+4%H2 gas atmosphere than under the 100% Ar gas. By using the small-sized powders, the fine microstructure with average grain size of 2~3􀀀 was obtained. With the large-sized powders, the single martensitic phase was observed with the average grain size of 70~72􀀀 . When the starting powders with different sizes were mixed, it is confirmed that the average grain size of the manufactured alloys was 15􀀀 , but the distribution of grain size was not uniform.

Dense BaTiO3 ceramics consisting of fine grains were prepared using fine powder (average grain size of 0.06 μm; BT006) as a starting material and the spark plasma sintering (SPS) method. The powder was densified to >95% of theoretical x-ray density by the SPS process, and the average grain size of the resulting ceramics was <0.5 μm; the particle size of the initial powder significantly affects the grain size of the resulting SPS pellets. Fixed-frequency (100 kHz), room-temperature permittivity measurements of the BT006-SPS ceramics showed relatively low values (3000–3500) compared with those (typically 5000) for SPS ceramics consisting of larger grains (approximately 1 μm). Lower permittivity was attributed to poor development of ferroelectric domains in the ceramics, which originated from incomplete development of the tetragonal structure as well as the presence of a local orthorhombic structure.

Sub-micron and nano-sized β-SiC powders were sintered with AlN and Y2O3 as sintering additives by spark plasma sintering (SPS). The sintered densities reached >95% of theoretical with a different molar ratio of AlN to Y2O3 at total amount of 10vol% and temperature of 1900oC for 10min in N2 atmosphere under a pressure of 30MPa. With increasing amount of the AlN additive, the size of SiC grains decreased and the shape changed from globular to columnar. The fully densified SiC at AlN:Y2O3=95:5mol% had an average grain size of 0.5-1µm and 50-100nm in diameter by using sub-micron and nano-sized SiC starting powders, respectively. Flexural strength of the specimen having grain size of 0.5-1µm was approximately 1200MPa at room temperature.

Y2Ti2O7 transparent ceramic was fabricated by reactive sintering using spark plasma sintering at 1673 K for 2.7 ks. The sintered body exhibited a cubic pyrochlore structure and uniform microstructure with an average grain size of 2.9 μm. The transmittance reached 73% at a wavelength of 2000 nm after annealing at 1023 K for 21.6 ks.
