Electric Field Assisted Sintering and Related Phenomena Far From Equilibrium

The feedback properties of particulate nanomaterials versus their structure parameters (grain size, pore size), were found much more sensitive than that in conventional materials [1-3]. Among them field assisted sintering techniques including SPS and microwave sintering (MWS) were intensively developed [4-9]. The effect of inhibited grains growth for nanomaterials was established for Field Assisted Sintering Technology [4,5,8,9].

The FAST or Spark Plasma Sintering (SPS) is a rapid rate consolidation technology where effect of electromagnetic field enhanced by external pressure. The studies of FAST densification for nano-TiN shows the possibility to substantially inhibit the grain growth and fabricate materials with grains …
