Abstract
Flash sintering (FS) is of great interest today, as it allows the production of high-density ceramics in seconds at lower temperatures than conventional sintering. In this study, the effects of conventional sintering at 1250°C for 4 h and FS at various electric fields (12.5, 25, 50 and 75 V/mm) on copper smelting slag (CSS), which is a multiphase material system, are investigated. The results show that FS occurs at substantially lower temperatures with much shorter times than conventional sintering, in conjunction with improved density and hardness values for CSS. The optimum condition for better densification is observed for the sample applied the 25 V/mm electric field in 554 s, and the maximum power density of about 76.49 mW/mm3. On the other hand, the shortest FS duration is achieved with the sample applied 75 V/mm in 114 s. Flash sintering at lower temperatures also stabilizedthe magnetite-hematite the phase transition, which arouses at higher temperatures. Overall, FS has made a huge contribution to reducing sintering time and temperature while providing better microstructure integrity and mechanical properties in multiphase materials systems.
