Fundamental Aspects of Spark Plasma Sintering: I. Experimental Analysis of Scalability

Abstract: Scalability experiments on the spark plasma sintering (SPS) of similarly shaped alumina specimens of the four different sizes are conducted. The utilized experimental methodology, based on the principle of rigorous proportionality of all the specimen and tooling dimensions, employs two different SPS devices of different scales. The processed specimens are characterized in terms of relative density and grain‐pore structure. Overall, SPS shows good scalability potential within a single SPS device, but indicates … Show more

“…In the present work, utilizing the developed thermo‐electro‐mechanical finite element framework, we assess shrinkage and grain growth kinetics as well as the temperature, porosity, and grain size gradients in the volume of alumina powder cylindrical specimens of four different sizes subjected to SPS. The results of modeling are compared with experimental data described in a companion article …”

“…A finite element model developed based on the COMSOL™ platform for an SPS scalability study [35,36] has been considered and adapted to the considered overheating problem, therefore focusing the analysis on the tooling instead of the specimen; and underway, providing the utilized modeling framework with a more comprehensive description of the electric-thermal finite-element module.…”

“…[13,256] Recently, more complex geometries have been presented in the literature. [257][258][259] In many cases, the sintering behavior is neglected and the material under consolidation is considered as a dense, elastic body. This can induce large errors in terms of stress level (a sintering materials being a viscous fluid).…”
