This manuscript proposes subjecting gas-atomized powders of ZrCu 39.85 Y 2.37 Al 1.8 metallic glass to spark plasma sintering (SPS). bulk (BMG) sinters at a temperature between its crystallization (T x ) and transition g temperatures, found be 457 °C 368 °C, respectively, via Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC). Several samples were sintered different temperatures within the mentioned range...

This study aims to understand the effect of electrical field on microstructure evolution during field-assisted sintering or spark plasma (FAST/SPS) 10 mol% gadolinium-doped ceria (GDC) with experimental and numerical methods. The novelty this has been observation enhanced grain growth in region closer anode, even under FAST/SPS conditions fields less than 5 V/cm. kinetics, including determinati...

Alumina-reinforced carbon nanofiber nanocomposites were prepared using different routes; powders mixture, colloidal route and sol-gel process followed by spark plasma sintering (SPS). CNFs/xAl2O3 (x=10-50 vol.%) were prepared through nanopowders mixing in a high-energy attrition milling. The main limitations in the preparation of this kind of nanocomposites are related to the difficulty in obta...
