Spark plasma sintering of alumina nanopowders produced by electrical explosion of wires

چکیده
Alumina nanopowders produced by electrical explosion of wires were sintered using the spark plasma sintering technique. The results of XRD analysis show that the main phase in the compacted nanopowders is α-Al2O3. According to the SEM observations, the sintered alumina nanopowder consists of micron-sized faceted grains and nano-sized necked grains. The increase in sintering temperature resulted in a higher density of the sintered powders: from 78.44 to 98.21 % of theoretical density.

Spark plasma sintering (SPS) method, as plasma activated sintering, is a method applicable for rapid sintering of metals and ceramics. Owing to the advantage of rapid heating, the alumina ceramics obtained by SPS have a grain size and density comparable to those of hot pressed ones. The increase of densification rate may be related to some difference in ion transport characteristics. This study...
متن کاملNanopowders produced by electrical explosion of wires
Electrical explosion of wires (EEW) is a method for production of nanopowders. Depending on type of chemical composition of working ambient in the discharge chamber nanopowders of carbides can be produced (EEW in hydrocarbons) or nanopowders of oxides (EEW in oxygen contained medium). Phase compositions of nanopowders prepared by electrical explosion of tungsten and aluminium wires in liquid an...
