Results showed that when a proper combination of pulse electric current and constant electric current was employed for sintering, the density and bend strength of the as-sintered material reached the maxima, being 7.61×10^3 kg/m^3 and 1540 MPa, respectively. Its corresponding fracture morphology was characterized as the mix of ductile, intergranular and cleavage fractures.展开更多
