Abstract
Pulse electric current sintering (PECS) is a powerful technique for the preparation of nanoceramics. However, the temperature distribution within the ceramic powder compact during PECS is not uniform. In the present study, aluminum hydroxide powder is used as an in situ temperature indicator to determine the temperature uniformity. The phase evolution within the powder compact is taken to estimate its temperature distribution. The temperature is highest near the top surface of the compact; it then reduces with increasing distance away from the top surface of the compact. The temperature variation can be significantly reduced by inserting a carbon paper in between graphite punches and graphite mold and also by reducing the heating rate.
