Densification behaviour of pure molybdenum powder by spark plasma sintering
Source abstract
Abstract
Abstract Pure molybdenum was sintered with SPS under various temperatures, external pressures and heating rates. The microstructure of the specimens representing the different sintering conditions was investigated by classical metallographic methods. The relative density, the microhardness and the chord length distribution were measured. Linear shrinkage, depending on time or temperature, was calculated from piston travel, which was recorded during sintering process. These results show that the main part of consolidation takes place during fast heating up. The densification behaviour is controlled mainly by sintering temperatures and applied pressure. The molybdenum powder was successfully consolidated by SPS in very short times. A relative density of 95% was reached by sintering temperatures of 1600 °C and external pressure of 67 MPa.
