The production of TiAl alloys can be a discouraging task owing to their low ductility at room
temperature. However, the development of novel methods that are alternative to traditional …

In this study, the evolution of the electrical resistivity of metal powders during densification
and the resulting current flow through punch, powder compact, and die is investigated. The …

Dynamic recrystallization, grain refinement and strengthening mechanism were investigated
in the ultrastrong and ductile α Ti-xSn alloy processed by spark plasma sintering (SPS) and …

This work focuses on gaining a better understanding of the feasibility of using reactive
induction sintering to obtain the alloy Ti-5Al-2.5 Fe using Ti, Al and Fe powders (ie via a …

The objective of this study is to modulate the size of intermetallic compounds to increase the
strength of Al–Ag composites. In this study, we prepared Al–Ag composites using plasma …

Today the electric current activated sintering (ECAS) technique is commonly preferred as it
has many advantages such as microstructure control, reduction of process time, rapidly …

Using the methods of transmission electron microscopy and energy-dispersive
spectroscopy, we study the microstructure and phase composition of the coating and …

The effect of electric current on the atomic diffusion of W-Ti system using spark plasma
sintering (SPS) was investigated. The interdiffusion coefficient of W-Ti system during SPS …

This study was conducted to evaluate the microstructure evolution of the blended elemental
