Simulation of the Temperature Distribution of Gradient Ti-TiB Composites Prepared by Spark Plasma Sintering Process

Article Preview

Abstract:

An electrical – thermal coupled finite element model (FEM) is developed to investigate the temperature distribution during spark plasma sintering (SPS) with a pre-designed graded graphite die. The sample used in this investigation consists of five layers with different contents of Ti and TiB (45 wt % Ti, 55 wt %Ti, 65 wt % Ti, 75 wt % Ti and 85 wt % Ti). The temperature distribution in gradient Ti-TiB composites was obtained. Owing to the use of the die with changing cross section, a temperature difference of 142K in the axial direction inside the sample is achieved, while the maximum radial temperature difference is 6.2 times less than the axial one.
