作为目前最流行的超快烧结技术,放电等离子烧结(SPS)多用于制备纳米结构材料、非晶材料、金属间化合物、金属基体以及陶瓷基复合材料。与传统烧结方式相比,放电等离子烧结(SPS)技术具有更快的加热速度,可在更短的烧结时间内达到相同的烧结效果。放电等离子烧结(SPS)制备材料可以快速升温是由于脉冲电流中的直流分量与交流分量的集肤效应,以及加热系统较小的热容量。烧结时,热量大部分由模具内边缘产生,其温度越高,粉体表面的温度就越高。在放电等离子烧结(SPS)中,粉末放置在石墨模具中,在对粉末施加压力的同时,电流通过模具和样品(如果后者为导电材料)来加热粉末坯体,若粉体为非导电材料,电流主要流过模具产生热量。除了因为较低的烧结温度与较短的烧结时间可成功制备晶粒无明显生长的纳米材料之外,SPS工艺因其独特的加热体系,在制备陶瓷材料 时具有以下优势:可清洁晶界、可显著增加超塑性、降低晶界偏聚、增强键合质量、改善热电性能以及合金陶瓷的延性改善。As the most popular ultrafast sintering technology, spark plasma sintering (SPS) is mostly used to prepare nanostructured materials, amorphous materials, intermetallic compounds, metal matrix and ceramic matrix composites. Compared with traditional sintering methods, spark plasma sintering (SPS) technology has a faster heating rate and can achieve the same sintering effect in a shorter sintering time. The rapid heating of materials prepared by spark plasma sintering (SPS) is due to the skin effect of the DC and AC components in the pulsed current, as well as the small heat capacity of the heating system. During sintering, most of the heat is generated by the inner edge of the mold, and the higher the temperature, the higher the temperature of the powder surface. In spark plasma sintering (SPS), the powder is placed in a graphite mold, and while pressure is applied to the powder, an electric current is passed through the mold and the sample (if the latter is a conductive material) to heat the powder body, if the powder is a non-conductive material , the current mainly flows through the mold to generate heat. In addition to the successful preparation of nanomaterials with no obvious grain growth due to the lower sintering temperature and shorter sintering time, the SPS process has the following advantages in the preparation of ceramic materials due to its unique heating system: clean grain boundaries, It can significantly increase superplasticity, reduce grain boundary segregation, enhance bonding quality, improve thermoelectric properties, and improve ductility of alloy ceramics.

The ceramic material prepared in this example is cut into standard strip samples of 3mm×4mm×35mm, and then the strips are subjected to rough grinding, grinding, chamfering and polishing. The mechanical properties were tested, and the results showed that the flexural strength of the material was 959MPa, the hardness was 15.21GPa, and the fracture toughness was 8.61MPa·M 1/2 . The process of densification and crystal growth of the spark plasma sintered Si 3 N 4 ceramic material can be seen from Figure 1. Before 1200°C, the powder expands due to heat, the lower indenter moves down, and the Z-axis displacement decreases. The densification process occurs after 1200 °C, when the lower indenter moves up and the Z-axis displacement increases. When the temperature reaches 1700 °C, the crystal begins to grow and the ceramic material begins to expand, and the Z-axis displacement decreases. According to Fig. 2, it can be found that the phase composition of the sintered Si 3 N 4 /TiC ceramic material is β-Si 3 N 4 , TiC 0.3 N 0.7 and a small amount of α-Si 3 N 4 , of which TiC0.3N0.7 is mainly due to During the sintering process, Si 3 N 4 and TiC react to form. And from Figure 2, it can be found that the crystallinity of the ceramic materials is good. Figure 3 shows the SEM image of the fracture surface of the Si 3 N 4 /TiC ceramic material, it can be found that the grains are uniform, no larger β-Si 3 N 4 is found, and the density is good, and no obvious pores are found, which is also The reason for the excellent mechanical properties of ceramic materials.
