Densification and mechanical properties of electroconductive Si3N4 -based composites prepared by spark plasma sintering

Si3N4-TiN composites were prepared by conventional powder processing (SPS1) and in-situ reaction sintering (SPS2). Rapid densification of SPS was achieved for sample SPS1 and SPS2 within a few minutes at low temperature. Sample SPS1 sintered at 1550ºC showed rapid transformation of α to β Si3N4 whil...
