Researchers at the University of Rostock in Germany have developed a new technique that allows production of high strength metallic alloys using lesser energy and at lower costs. This technique is expected to change the way components used in transport & medical devices are mass produced. The technique, called Spark Plasma Sintering (SPS) has been described in 'Materials Today'. The SPS system with gas quenching mechanism can alternate the phase compositions and retain smallest grain features inside the alloy.
The SPS technique is used to fuse fine powders into a dense solid material by placing powder into a mold. By continuously changing the cooling rates of SPS, phase and grain sizes in the material can be controlled.
The research was conducted by team led by Dr Eberhard Burkel, a Professor of Physics of New Materials. His team demonstrated that the SPS technique can be used to create high strength metallic alloys using a lot lesser energy than the traditional methods.
