Abstract

This article describes recent trends in Spark Plasma Sintering (SPS) technology. The SPS method is widely recognized as a useful sintering technique to develop various kinds of attractive ceramics, metals, and composite materials due to its excellent features of rapid heating, electromagnetic field effect, and a well-controlled microstructure.
