Abstract

The effects of plasma cycle and TiO2 doping on sintering kinetics during plasma activated sintering (PAS) of γ−Al2O3 have been studied in the temperature range of 1473–1823 K. Multiple plasma cycle leads to higher densification. Also, TiO2 doping enhances the sintering kinetics during PAS. In TiO2 doped specimens, near full density was obtained at 1673 K in less than 6 min using multiple plasma cycle. It is suggested that the dielectric properties of a material are critical for the success of the PAS process.
