ABSTRACT
Densification of SiC powder with additives of total amount of2, 4, 8 $wt%$ Al-B-C was carried out by Spark Plasma Sintering (SPS). The unique features of the process are the possibilities of a very fast heating rate and a short holding time to obtain fully dense materials. The heating rate and applied pressure were kept at $100^{circ}C/min$ and 40 MPa, while the sintering temperature and holding time varied from 1700 - $1800^{circ}C$ for 10 - 40 min, respectively. The SPS-sintered specimens with different amount of Al-B-C at $1800^{circ}C$ reached near-theoretical density. The $3C{rightarrow}6H,;15R{rightarrow}4H$ phase transformation of SiC was enhanced by increasing the additive amount. The microstructure of SiC sintered up to $1750^{circ}C$ consisted of fine equiaxed grains. In contrast, the growth of large elongated grains in small matrix grains was shown in sintered bodies at $1800^{circ}C$, and the plate-like grains interlocking microstructure had been developed by increasing the holding time at $1800^{circ}C$. The grain growth rate decreases with increasing amount of Al-B-C in SiC starting powder, however, the both of volume fraction and aspect ratio of large grains in sintered body increased.
Key words: SiC, Spark plasma sintering, Rapid densification, Interlocking microstructure
