Abstract
Nanosized TiN powder was densified via field-assisted sintering at temperat ures of 1150 degrees-1350 degrees C and a pressure of 66 MPa under vacuum. A maximum relative density of similar to 97% and a maximum mean grain size of 150-200 nm were obtained. Densification and microstructural evolution ha ve been discussed, in terms of superplasticity and electric-field effects.
