Model of SPS Two-Stadium Synthesis and Densification Reactor Applied for Ultrafine Zirconium Nitride Powder

Abstract:

The volumetric changes and variable porosity due to the concentration expansion of the solid phase in the synthesis of zirconium nitride (ZrN) are studied. The model of two-stage reactor based on spark plasma sintering (SPS) is proposed. At the first stage the synthesis for the given kinetics is simulated. At the second stage the densification of ZrN using the Olevsky’s sintering model [1-5] is applied. The synthesis and densification processes using the prescribed heat sources, at the given positions inside the reactor is simulated. The generalization of the two-temperature model [6] and the formula of the porosity in the densification using calculation of the solid concentration expansion and thermal dispersion is proposed. The concentration expansion coefficients in the process of zirconium nitrogenating at a given initial density values and coefficients of expansion of reagents .is studied The temperature at the stage of ZrN synthesis and porosity variation at the stage of densification are in satisfactory agreement with experimental results [2,7,8]
