Flash (Ultra-Rapid) Spark-Plasma Sintering of Silicon Carbide

A new ultra-rapid process of flash spark plasma sintering is developed. The idea of flash spark plasma sintering (or flash hot pressing - FHP) stems from the conducted theoretical analysis of the role of thermal runaway phenomena for material processing by flash sintering. The major purpose of the present study is to theoretically analyze the thermal runaway nature of flash sintering and to exp...

Microwave synthesis of phase-pure, fine silicon carbide powder

Fine, monophasic silicon carbide powder has been synthesized by direct solid-state reaction of its constituents namely silicon and carbon in a 2.45 GHz microwave field. Optimum parameters for the silicon carbide phase formation have been determined by varying reaction time and reaction temperature. The powders have been characterized for their particle size, surface area, phase composition (X-r...

Micro structural aspects of Aluminium Silicon Carbide Metal Matrix Composite

The role of engineering materials in the development of modern technology need not be emphasized. As the levels of technology have become more and more sophisticated, the materials used also have to be correspondingly made more efficient and effective. The increasing use of Aluminium alloy materials in structural and space applications generated considerable interest for the development of tech...

An experimental investigation on the machinability of powder formed silicon carbide particle reinforced aluminium metal matrix composites

The paper attempts to study the machinability issues of aluminium-silicon carbide (Al-SiC) metal matrix composites (MMC) in turning using HSS cutting tool. SiCp-reinforced metal matrix composites (MMCs) containing SiC particles (5wt%-20wt %) of 400mesh size were prepared by powder metallurgy (P/M) route and used as work material for turning. Experiments were conducted at various cutting speeds ...
