A novel method, Flash Spark Plasma Sintering (FSPS), combining flash sintering and electric field assisted sintering was used to densify B4C ceramics. B4C powder was densified up to 99.2% in 1 min with limited grain size increase at 1931 degrees C under an applied pressure of 15.3 MPa. TEM analysis of the grain structure of the resulting ceramics suggests that the Joule heating and sparking initiated by the pulsed current are highly localized to particle interfaces and contribute significantly to the character of densification. We show that plastic deformation under high current and low pressure is the dominant densification mechanism. (C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
