Abstract:Spark plasma sintering (SPS) is an advanced process of sintering materials at low temperatures and short time by creating spark plasma at very high temperatures in the small points and short times, by which materials with high sintering temperature can sinter at lower temperatures. In this study, alumina-nickel-cobalt composites were sintered by SPS and RHP (rapid hot press) methods to investigate the effects of electric pulse on their microstructure and mechanical properties. To this end, sample powders conta… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
