Aluminum nitride, AlN, and titanium diborite,TiB2, are covalent-based ceramics with wide technological applications. However, sintering of these ceramics using conventional methods of high pressure requires not only elevated temperatures but also long processing time. This causes excessive grain growth, which impairs strength and hardness. In the present work, 70%AlN-30%TiB2 ceramic composites were sintered to relatively higher density and hardness by means of the Spark Plasma Sintering (SPS) at temperatures in the interval from 1500 to 1900°C in order to improve the properties of both compounds and decrease the processing time. The SPS was applied for different sintering temperatures and the effects on density, hardness and surface structure were evaluated. Maximum values obtained for density and hardness were 98.8% of the theoretical value and 13.7 GPa, respectively. |
