Abstract
The densification mechanism of amorphous Fe48Cr15Mo14Y2C15B6 alloy powder during isochronal spark plasma sintering was analyzed to determine the innate function of high heating rates. Densification ensued and concluded at gradually lower temperatures while attaining higher maximum rates with increasing heating rates in the first stage. The shrinkage behavior analyzed under the theoretical framework of viscous flow revealed a steady reduction in the activation energy leading to a resultant enhancement of densification rate in the initial stage.
