Flash sintering of tantalum-hafnium diboride solid solution powder
Source abstract
Abstract
In this study, flash sintering of single-phase tantalum-hafnium diboride solid solution powder (Ta0.5Hf0.5B2) was demonstrated. Flash-sintering experiments were carried out in a homemade setup under an applied pressure of ~ 10 MPa and a constant DC electric field at room temperature without preheating. The effect of limiting current density on densification and microstructure of flash-sintered samples was studied. It was found that with increasing limiting current density (from 11.4 to 13.9 A/mm2), the sample microstructure changed noticeably: interconnected pores started to disappear and became more isolated. Meanwhile, the Vickers hardness of the samples increased significantly from 4.5 to 22.6 GPa. These observations along with the relative density obtained in this study (~ 85%) suggest that even higher limiting current density (> ~ 14 A/mm2), deagglomerated powders, higher applied pressure (> 10 MPa), and better thermal insulation should be used in future studies to realize full densification of high-temperature ceramics such as Ta0.5Hf0.5B2by flash-sintering technique.Graphical abstract
