Abstract
Flash sintering is arousing growing interest because high-density ceramics can be obtained at lower temperatures and shorter dwell times than conventional sintering. However, not only temperature and dwell times should be controlled during flash sintering but also parameters such as the electric field and electric current should be considered. Controlling all the parameters during the processing allows comprehensive control of the microstructure and, consequently, functional properties can be improved. In this work, it is evidenced that an exhaustive control of the flash electric current is a crucial factor for tailoring the microstructure of BaTiO3 ceramics. The results reveal that the most suitable way to control the sintering process is by using non-linear current profiles because better densification and improved grain growth is achieved. Although the results focus on BaTiO3, this work offers a new pathway to tailor the microstructure of flash sintered ceramics, which may be extended to other materials.
