Electric-discharge sintering of an aluminum-carbon fiber composite material

Outside Mainstream Electronic Databases: Review of Studies Conducted in the USSR and Post-Soviet Countries on Electric Current-Assisted Consolidation of Powder Materials

“…Ryabinina (Orenburg Polytechnic University) studied the interaction of the punches (electrodes) with a metallic powder [ 102 , 103 , 104 , 105 ] and sintering of composite materials [ 106 , 107 , 108 ]. The electric discharge sintering experiments were conducted using the facility designed in Frantsevich Institute for Problems of Materials Science, Ukraine.…”

“…No holding at the maximum temperature was used; the samples were cooled in air. During sintering, the electric parameters changed and their final values were as follows: I circuit = 0.6 A; I anod e = 1.2 A; U = 0.8 V. The optimal heating regime for the Fe (balance)-1.35%, C-2%, Cu-4% composition corresponded to a combination of the following conditions: I circuit = 0.2 A; I anode = 0.9 A; U = 7 V and a holding time of 38 s [ 107 ].…”

“…Sintering of zirconia ceramics is an interesting case, as this ceramic material has a high electrical conductivity dependent on the temperature. In order to control the sintered microstructure and properties of the sintered material, the parameters of the initial powders need to be properly selected [ 107 ].…”
