Recent studies indicate that biodegradable magnesium alloys and composites are attracting a great deal of attention in orthopedic applications. In this study, magnesium–hydroxyapatite (Mg–HAP) composites with different compositions and grain size were fabricated by a spark plasma sintering (SPS) method. Their mechanical properties and corrosion behavior in a pseudo-physiological environment were investigated by pH measurements and inductivity coupled plasma (ICP) elemental analysis after an immersion test using Hanks’ solution. The results clearly showed that the addition of HAP improved both the mechanical properties and corrosion resistance. The results also indicated that the finer grain size improved most of the properties that are needed in a material for an orthopedic implant. Furthermore, the authors reveal that there is a strong correlation between the compressive strength and the porosity. In order to achieve the same compressive strength as human bone using these fabrication conditions, it is revealed that the porosity should be lower than 1.9%.

Rapid densification of the SiC-10, 20, 30, 40wt% TiC powder with Al, B and C additives was carried out by spark plasma sintering (SPS). In the present SPS process, the heating rate and applied pressure were kept at 100°C/min and at 40 MPa, while the sintering temperature varied from 1600-1800°C in an argon atmosphere. The full density of SiC-TiC composites was achieved at a temperature above 1800°C by spark plasma sintering. The 3C phase of SiC in the composites was transformed to 6H and 4H by increasing the process temperature and the TiC content. By tailoring the microstructure of the spark-plasma-sintered SiC-TiC composites, their toughness could be maintained without a notable reduction in strength. The strength of 720 MPa and the fracture toughness of 6.3 MPa·m1/2 were obtained in the SiC-40wt% TiC composite prepared at 1800°C for 20 min.

MgO/Graphene ceramic composites were fabricated by combining combustion synthesis with spark plasma sintering. MgO/Graphene mixture powders were prepared by the combustion reaction between Mg powders and CO2 gas. Dense MgO/Graphene composites were fabricated by spark plasma sintering (SPS) using LiF as the sintering additive. The effect of the sintering temperature on microstructure and mechanical properties of the prepared MgO/Graphene ceramics was discussed. The sintering temperature of the MgO/Graphene mixture powders increased from 900°C to 1300°C. The highest density of 3.43g/cm3 and hardness of 2133MPa were obtained at 1100°C. Compared with monolithic MgO ceramics, the hardness of MgO/Graphene ceramics at the same sintering temperature was increased from 840MPa to 2133MPa.
