Springer - Spark Plasma Sintering of Materials Book

Explore the advanced world of materials science with Spark Plasma Sintering of Materials: Advances in Processing and Applications by Springer. This comprehensive text provides an in-depth look at spark plasma sintering (SPS) technology, covering everything from basic fundamentals to material-specific considerations. Readers will learn about the various techniques and applications used across a wide range of materials. The book focuses on efficient methods for consolidating metallic or ceramic particles in very short timeframes. It provides technical insights into producing complex alloys and metal matrix composites that feature improved mechanical and wear properties. By focusing on the speed of sintering processes, this resource explains how to achieve uniformity in product microstructure and properties. It also addresses how to reduce grain growth and explains the benefits of performing both compaction and sintering within a single process. This is an essential resource for engineers and scientists working in mechanical and materials engineering.
