Abstract
A porous structure with a porosity gradient can be applied to the preparation of continuous FGM, where liquid or chemical vapor of the second phase is infiltrated into the graded pores. It also has applications in skeletal implant materials and ultrafiltration media. An attempt was made to fabricate a porous material with a porosity gradient by means of a pulsed electric current sintering (PECS) process. The present work describes not only the measured value of the temperature difference between the upper and lower part of the specimen, which brings about a gradual change in pore distribution, but also the sintering characteristics of the porous structure obtained by the pressureless PECS process.
