Comparison Between some Properties of the Antifriction Al-based Composite Materials Sintered by Classic and Spark Plasma Sintering (SPS) Route

摘要

It is well known the importance of the antifriction materials on the different fields of the modern technique [1]. The paper presents the experimental results regarding the elaboration on the non-ferrous MMC with antifriction properties. This antifriction composite material is processed by two sintering routes: classic and advanced, meaning Spark Plasma Sintering (SPS). The advantageous aspects of SPS technology: lower sintering temperatures, shorter sintering time and higher properties values of the sintered material are underlined by comparing the experimental results with those from the classical sintering route.
