AlN ceramics doped with yttrium oxide (Y2O3) as the sintering additive were prepared via the spark plasma sintering (SPS) technique. The sintering behaviors and densification mechanism were mainly investigated. The results showed that Y2O3 addition could promote the AlN densification. Y2O3-doped AlN samples could be densified at low temperatures of 1600-1700oC in 20-25 minutes. The AlN samples were characterized with homogeneous microstructure. The Y-Al-O compounds were created on the grain boundaries due to the reactions between Y2O3 and Al2O3 on AlN particle surface. With increasing the sintering temperature, AlN grains grew up, and the location of grain boundaries as well as the phase compositions changed. The Y/Al ratio in the aluminates increased, from Y3Al5O12 to YAlO3 and to Y4Al2O9. High-density, the growth of AlN grains and the homogenous dispersion of boundary phase were helpful to improve the thermal conductivity of AlN ceramics. The thermal conductivity of 122Wm-1K-1 for the 4.0 mass%Y2O3-doped AlN sample was reached.

In this work, compressive and thermal properties of aluminum, milled aluminum, and Al-10Al2O3 composite processed via ball milling (BM) and spark plasma sintering (SPS) were investigated. The microstructural features of powders and sintered samples were characterized using optical and scanning electron microscopy. A universal testing machine was used to determine the compressive properties of the consolidated samples. The thermal conductivity and coefficient of thermal expansion of the developed materials were characterized using a hot disc thermal constant analyzer and a dilatometer, respectively. The Al-10Al2O3 composite possessed hardness of 1309.7 MPa, yield strength of 311.4 MPa, and compressive strength of 432.87 MPa compared to hardness of 326.3 MPa, yield strength of 74.33 MPa, and compressive strength of 204.43 MPa for aluminum. The Al-10Al2O3 composite had thermal conductivity value 81.42 W/mK compared to value of 198.09 W/mK for aluminum. In the temperature range from 373 K to 723 K, the composite had lower CTEs ranging from 10 ? 10?6 to 22 ? 10?6/K compared to 20 ? 10?6 to 30 ? 10?6/K for aluminum.

The porous ZrO2 ceramics was prepared by spark plasma sintering (SPS) at 520 °C. A dense closed micro-cellular ceramic structure was fabricated with micron Al90Mn9Ce1 alloy powders clading by 10 wt% ZrO2 nano-powder. SEM image showed that the thickness of ceramic cell wall was 1.0 - 2.0 μm. After deep corrosion with 10% HCl, an integrity nanocrystalline ZrO2 porous sample was obtained. Based on the experimental results, the transient spark plasma sintering mechanism of micron-nano mixing powder was also studied.
