“…After selecting the desired sintering program, either automatically or manually, and starting the apparatus, the electric current passed through the die and powder compact (depending on the electrical conductivity of the sintered material), causing the part to heat up. Various materials were manufactured by SPS including pure metals [10,25], metallic alloys [26][27][28][29], ceramics [30,31], ex situ composite [32,33], in situ composite [34,35], etc. Moreover, SPS is used for the production of highly porous materials or foams [36,37], production of functional gradient materials [38,39], joining and welding of dissimilar materials, and refractory compounds [40,41], and sintering of multi-layer materials in the form of laminates [42,43].…”
