Abstract
The preparation of ultrafine-grained alumina ceramics by the fast sintering technique Self-propagating High-temperature Synthesis plus Quick Pressing (SHS-QP) method and spark plasma sintering (SPS) technique was reported. The effects of different heating rates (SHS-QP-1600 °C/min, SPS-200 °C/min) on the preparation of ultrafine structure were compared. The densification and grain growth as a function of sintering time and temperature were discussed. Within a short sintering time (<3 min), the full-dense alumina with ultrafine-grained structure was obtained by SHS-QP at 1550 °C under 100 MPa. By SPS, the sintering temperature was lower (1200 °C) than that of SHS-QP. The differences in densification parameters were explained by analyzing the thermodynamics of sintering process.
