investigated using commercially available SiC powder, without the addition of any sintering
aids. A relative density of up to 97.1% was achieved by dwelling at a moderately high
temperature of 1700° C for 1 h. Results indicate that the material׳ s density increased with
increasing dwell time at 1700° C. The combination of novel sintering profile, crystal lattice
distortion, and the advantages inherent to SPS all contributed to the densification …
