Abstract

Spark Plasma Sintering (SPS) is a consolidation approach, in which pulsed direct current passes through a graphite die and a compacted specimen, and enabling very high heating rates with simultaneously applying an external pressure. The combination of internal heating and external pressure provides the conditions for fast sintering. SPS parameters have to be determined based on the thermal and electrical properties of the consolidated material, which, evidently, depend on the compact porosity that decreases during the sintering process. In the present study, the effect of porosity of the SPS-processed Cu specimens on their thermal and electrical properties at room temperature was theoretically and experimentally investigated.
