| Abstract Scope |
We show for the first time that metals powders can be consolidated by flash sintering, that is by applying electrical fields and currents, in this instance tungsten was sintered at a furnace temperature of 900 oC and specimen temperature of 1400 oC by applying an electrical current and increasing it at a rate of 7.14 A/mm^2 s-1. The method can be applied to other refractory metals. An engine for microflash additive manufacturing will also be presented. |
