Spark plasma sintering (SPS) is a newly developed technique that enables poorly sinterable tin oxide powder to be fully densified. Sintering without sintering aids is of great importance when SnO2ceramics are used as electrodes in the glass melting industry and aluminum electrometallurgy. Dense and good-conductive Antimony-doped SnO2 ceramics can be achieved by SPS at a lower sintering temperature and in a shorter time. When the Sb2O3concentration is 1.0 mol%, the densities of the samples reach their maximum value, which is 98.2% of the theoretical value. When the content of Sb2O3was 2.44mol%, SnO2ceramics with densities 97.6% can be obtained at 800°C-1000°C, and the resistivity was about 5.19×10-2Ω.cm at the sintering temperature of 1000°C. Defined amount of Sb3+used in our research are beneficial to low the sintering temperature and promote the densification of SnO2ceramics

In this study, spark plasma sintering (SPS) was applied to prepare α-Si3N4 ceramics of different densities with magnesia, silicon dioxide, alumina as the sintering aids. The sintering behavior and liquid phase sintering (LPS) mechanism were discussed and the factors influencing the density of the prepared samples were analyzed. Microstructures of sintered samples were observed and the phase compositions were analyzed. The results showed that α-Si3N4 ceramics can be sintered by SPS based on the reaction among α-Si3N4 and sintering additives which lead to the liquid phase and the density can be well controlled from 2.48 to 3.09 g/cm3 while the content of the sintering aids changes from 10% to 28.5% and sintering temperature from 1400°C to 1500°C.

Mg97Zn1Y2 alloy powders were prepared from gas atomization process, followed by consolidation using spark plasma sintering (SPS) process. The atomized Mg97Zn1Y2 alloy particles were entirely spherical in shape and dendrite microstructure. The compacts sintered by SPS process have values more than 99% of theoretical density. The compressive yield strength was decreased as sintering temperature increased. It is found that the compressive strength showed the maximum value of 303MPa at the sintered specimen under load of 250MPa at 350°C.

Densification of antimony-doped tin oxide (ATO) ceramics without sintering aids is very difficult, due to the volatilization of SnO2, formation of deleterious phases above 1000°C, and poor sintering ability of ATO particles. In this paper, monodispersed ATO nanoparticles were synthesized via sol-gel method, and then ATO nanoceramics with high density were prepared by spark plasma sintering (SPS) technology using the as-synthesized ATO nanoparticles without the addition of sintering aids. The effect of Sb doping content on the densification was investigated, and the densification mechanisms were explored. The results suggest that ATO nanoparticles derived from sol-gel method show good crystallinity with a crystal size of 5–20 nm and Sb is incorporated into the SnO2crystal structure. When the SPS sintering temperature is 1000°C and the Sb doping content is 5 at.%, the density of ATO nanoceramics reaches a maximum value of 99.2%. Densification mechanisms are explored in detail.

Effects of sintering temperatures on the microstructure and mechanical performance of SPS M3:2 high speed steel prepared by spark plasma sintering was studied. High speed steel sintering curve of continuous heating from ambient temperature to 1200°C was estimated to analyze the sintering processes and sintering temperature range. The sintering temperature within this range was divided into groups to investigate hardness, relative density and microstructure of M3:2 high-speed steel. Strip and quadrate carbides were observed inside the equiaxed grains. SPS sintering temperature at 900°C can lead to nearly full densification with grain size smaller than 20μm. The hardness and bending strength are higher than that of the conventionally powder metallurgy fabricated ones sintered at 1270°C. However, fracture toughness of the high speed steel is lower than that of the conventional powder metallurgy steels. This can be attributed to the shape and distribution of M6C carbides which reduce the impact toughness of high speed steels.
