Abstract
The modeling of powder compaction process, such as spark plasma sintering (SPS), requires the determination of the visco-plastic deformation behavior of the particle material including the viscosity moduli. The establishment of these parameters usually entails a long and difficult experimental campaign which in particular involves several hot isostatic pressing tests. A more straightforward method based on the coupled sinter-forging and die compaction tests, which can be easily carried out in a regular SPS device, is presented. Compared to classical creep mechanism studies, this comprehensive experimental approach can reveal the in situ porous structure morphology influence on the sintering process.
