CONFERENCE REPORT:
A review of Spark Plasma Sintering
In his presentation at the Hagen Symposium 2011, which took place in Hagen, Germany, from November 24-25, Prof. Bernd Kieback, Director of Fraunhofer IKTS and the Institute for Materials Science at the Technical University of Dresden, outlined the fundamentals of spark plasma sintering and critically reviewed past research on the subject.
Dr Georg Schlieper provides a summary of his presentation exclusively for ipmd.net.

Various terms such as Rapid Hot Pressing (RHP), Field Assisted Sintering Technique (FAST) or Spark Plasma Sintering (SPS) are used for very similar modern short-time sintering processes. What they all have in common is that sintering is performed in a closed die under pressure and that the heat is generated by a direct or pulsed electric current running through the punches as well as through the die and/or the sample. For metals the atmosphere may be inert (argon) or vacuum.
Prof. Kieback began his presentation with a model of metal powder particles showing an oxide layer on the surface. He stated that the thickness of oxide layers, compacting pressure and particle size affect the electrical current in the initial stage of sintering.
