Spark plasma sintering of Stellite®-6 superalloy

This paper aims at studying microstructure and mechanical properties of spark plasma sintered (SPSed) Stellite®-6 cobalt-based superalloy. SPS is a sintering technique, based on a relatively fast resistance heating using a pulsed current. Fast sintering process, associated with minimum grain growth, results in excellent mechanical properties....

Effect of mechanical alloying and spark plasma sintering on the microstructure and mechanical properties of ODS Eurofer

Oxide dispersion strengthened (ODS)Eurofer steel was prepared via mechanical alloying (MA)and spark plasma sintering (SPS). Different combinations of MA and SPS parameters were adopted in order to optimise the fabrication process. The experimental results show that the sample milled for 30 h, sintered at 1373 K at a pressure of 60 MPa has...

Solid State Diffusion Bonding of ODS Eurofer Steel by Spark Plasma Sintering

Oxide dispersion strengthened (ODS) steels are considered to be one of the candidate structural materials for advanced nuclear applications due to their high elevated-temperature strength, corrosion resistance, and radiation tolerance. Joining of ODS steels by traditional fusion joining techniques is not applicable, because the melting...

A review on mechanical alloying and spark plasma sintering of refractory high-entropy alloys: Challenges, microstructures, and mechanical behavior

Refractory high-entropy alloys (RHEAs) are promising candidates for those applications requiring of strong materials at high temperatures with elevated thermal stability and excellent oxidation, irradiation, and corrosion resistance. Particularly, RHEAs synthesized using mechanical alloying (MA) followed by spark plasma sintering (SPS) has...
