In this work, MgAl2O4 transparent ceramics was fabricated from combustion-synthesized nanopowders by pulsed electric current sintering (PECS) combined with two-step sintering. Ceramic powder was densitified using two-step heating, namely the first-step temperature was 1100 oC with holding time of 60 min and the second-step temperatures in range from 1300 oC to 1450 oC with 20 min duration. The results showed that the transparent ceramic samples sintered at 1100 oC/60 min – 1400 oC/20 min had grain size of 177 ± 8 nm, relative density about 99 %, transmittance up to 80 %, and Vickers hardness of 18 GPa. These values were higher than that of samples obtained by one-step sintering at 1400 oC.

Transparent MgAl2O4 ceramics were fabricated by pulsed electric current sintering (PECS) employing two-step sintering mode. First, nanoscale MgAl2O4 powders were produced by solution combustion synthesis from hydrated nitrate compounds and urea. Subsequently, the synthesized powders were sintered by PECS with a heating rate of 100oC/min under an applied pressure of 100 MPa. The sintering process was conducted according to two-step heating profile. At the first step, the temperature increased to 1050, 1100, and 1150oC, followed by a dwell time of 60 min. The second-step sintering was carried out at 1300, 1350, and 1400oC for 20 min. The transparent ceramics sintered at 1050oC/ 60 min – 1400oC/ 20 min exhibited transmittance over 80% in infrared range. In addition, transparent samples presented a Vickers hardness up to 30 GPa for sintering mode of 1150oC/ 60 min – 1400oC/ 20 min.

Electropulsing treatment was applied to high carbon pearlitic steel to assess the effects of the treatment on microstructure and properties. Ferrite recrystallisation and cementite spheroidisation were induced in samples treated at pulse duration and frequency greater than 40μs and 50Hz, respectively. Ferrite grain size of electropulsed samples was refined compared to similarly annealed samples. The results are explained through a combination of heating and athermal dislocation and atomic mobility effects. With optimisation, electropulsing may offer an improved annealing processing method.

An optimum route to synthesize Al2O3-based composite powders with a homogeneous dispersion of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) was investigated. CNT/Metal/Al2O3 nanocomposite powders were fabricated by thermal chemical vapor deposition (CVD) over a metal catalyst homogeneously dispersed into an Al2O3 matrix by the means of chemical and selective reduction processes. The nanocomposite powders were densified by Pulse Electric Current Sintering (PECS). The experimental results show that the CNT/Metal/Al2O3 nanocomposites have unique electrical properties.
