Abstract
In this study, we report the electrical conduction of carbonyl iron powder compacts when a constant voltage/current source is supplied, especially under a typical voltage 9.7V of electric current activated sintering (ECAS). The potential driving forces for resistance drop during stressing, including bulk temperature-dependent and -independent, were discussed. By using a proposed competition mechanism and percolation theory, it can successfully describe electrical behavior in metal powder compacts. The results indicate bulk temperature rise resulting from Joule heating is the main cause for the formation and growth of metallic contact at particle interfaces during ECAS.
