Structure and mechanical properties of spark plasma sintered TiN-based nanocomposites

STRUKTURA I WŁAŚCIWOŚCI MECHANICZNE NANOKOMPOZYTÓW NA BAZIE TiN SPIEKANYCH ISKROWO PLAZMOWO Consolidation of commercially available titanium nitride nanostructured powder as well as nanocomposite powders in the Si 3 N 4 -TiN and TiN-TiB 2 systems have been performed by Spark Plasma Sintering (SPS) in the temperature range from 1200 ◦ C to 1550 ◦ C. The effect of non-linear heating and loading regimes on high melting point nanocomposites consolidation has been investigated.
