Description

The sintering process of the pulse electric current sintering (PECS) method is not yet understood clearly. In this study, we estimated the electric current path for the sintering copper powder by PECS method using a graphite mold. Taking into account the temperature distribution in the graphite mold, we considered the sintering temperature of the PECS method. It is concluded that the changes with elapsed time of the temperature distribution of both the specimen and the mold depend on the electric current path. the difference between the control temperature and the real temperature of the specimen changed considerably with both the position of the thermocouple and the sintering conditions. the densification process in the PECS method could be the real temperature of the specimen.
