Abstract
Spark plasma sintering (SPS) process paid attention in fields of development such as the functionally graded materials because of lower sintering temperature and shorter sintering time. The high specific performance-to-weight ratios, strength at elevated temperature, and stiffness of titanium matrix composites reinforced with continuous fibers (TMC) are attractive for aerospace structural applications. On the other hand, one of the important considerations with the TMC is existence of a reaction layer between the fiber and matrix that reduces fiber strength and affects interfacial properties. Recently, novel sintering technology known as SPS is used for fabricating ceramics, functionally gradient materials, and composites. In the SPS process, pulsed electric current is applied between powder materials. The powders are sintered by Joule heat generated in the materials and heat transfer from graphite dies and punches. SPS can sinter samples at low sintering temperature and in short sintering time compared with hot pressing and hot isostatic pressing that conventionally used to fabricate TMC.
