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.

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.

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.

ABSTRACTIn this work Al-SiC nanocomposites were prepared by high energy ball milling followed by spark plasma sintering of the powder. For this purpose Al micro-powder was mixed with 50 nm diameter SiC nanoparticles. The final composites had grains of approximately 100 nm dimensions, with SiC particles located mostly at grain boundaries. To characterize their mechanical behavior, uniaxial compression, micro- and nano-indentation were performed. Materials with 1vol% SiC as well as nanocrystalline Al produced by the same means with the composite were processed, tested and compared. AA1050 was also considered for reference. It was concluded that the yield stress of the nanocomposite with 1 vol% SiC is 10 times larger than that of regular pure Al (AA1050). Nanocrystalline Al without SiC and processed by the same method has a yield stress 7 times larger than AA1050. Therefore, the largest increase is due to the formation of nanograins, with the SiC particles’ role being primarily that of stabilizing the grains. This was demonstrated by performing annealing experiments at 150°C and 250°C for 2h, in separate experiments.
