Spark Plasma Sintering and Pulse Magnetization

Caption

Large spark plasma sintered bulk MgB2 with Hastelloy supporting ring (left) and uniform trapped field (right) Using commercially available MgB2, the spark plasma sintering process produced a highly dense bulk, 40 mm in size, at 50 MPa and 1150°C, which had a packing fraction of 99.8 % and uniform trapped field characteristics perfect for bio-medical applications.
