The remarkable features of PECS in comparison with almost other sintering techniques are the direct heating method and the assistance of pressure. Therefore, PECS has fast heating rate and this sintering technique can densify samples fast without a severe grain growth. The high density and fine microstructure of materials sintered by PECS help a lot in improving properties of materials, especially mechanical properties. Recently, transparent polycrystalline Al₂O₃ has attracted much attention among ceramic materials. PECS is a superior sintering method for fabrication of transparent polycrystalline Al₂O₃.This article briefly summarizes the features of PECS and its recent advances in fabrication of transparent polycrystalline Al₂O₃., application/pdf}, pages = {13--22}, title = {Pulsed Electric Current Sintering and Its Employment for Transparent Polycrystalline Al₂O₃}, volume = {8}, year = {2020}, yomi = {シライ, タカシ} }
