Densification, mechanical and tribological properties of ZrB2 by SPS: Effect of pulsed current
Source abstract
Abstract
Abstract The influence of direct current pulse on–off patterns on spark plasma sintering of ZrB2 on densification, mechanical and tribological properties has been investigated systematically. The experimental data showed that the maximum relative density (98.65%) is achieved at 50 ms pulse on (ton) and 5 ms pulse off (toff) time conditions. The maximal Vickers hardness, fracture toughness (DCM) at 1 kgf load, wear volume and wear rate at 10 N load of the ZrB2 sample (ton = 50 ms and toff = 5 ms pulse conditions) were 16.64 GPa, 4.69 MPa√m, 4.05 × 104 μm3 and 1.01 × 10− 3 mm3/N·m, respectively. The electric current delivered during SPS processes in different ‘on–off’ pulse patterns plays a vital role in consolidation and desired structural properties.
