Abstract

A sintering method for the rapid consolidation of a variety of engineering materials (a number of metallic, ceramics, and multi-layer materials of interest in mechanical, electronic, and structural applications) in short time frames (seconds to minutes) to near theoretical density is presented with a focus on the net shape manufacturing potential of this novel Plasma Activated Sintering (PAS) process. In the present paper, we present the effects of the PAS process including the conditions, and microstructural characteristics and results on a wide variety of difficult-to-sinter materials.
