A BRIEF OVERVIEW OF THE TECHNOLOGY OF SPARK PLASMA SINTERING OF FUNCTIONAL MATERIALS FOR PRACTICAL PURPOSE

The review article explores the use of spark plasma sintering technology to produce intermetallides. These materials play an important role in aviation, space engineering, energy, and other high -tech industries. The spark plasma sintering method is characterized by high efficiency and allows you to produce materials with special properties such as high density, strength, heat resistance, and corrosion resistance. The article discusses all stages of the sintering process, from the preparation of powders to the final processing, as well as the main technological parameters, such as temperature, pressure, holding time, and pulse frequency. Careful optimization of these parameters enables the achievement of high uniformity and minimal porosity in the structure, thereby significantly enhancing the operational properties of materials and enhancin g their reliability and durability. The Joule heat dissipation mechanism is characterized, which contributes to reducing processing time and increasing productivity by providing localized heat dissipation and accelerating diffusion processes. In the articl e, successful examples of the use of spark plasma sintering for processing metals and complex compositions make this method a universal tool for creating materials with unique properties. It will also discuss current research and development aimed at improving technology and the use of innovative materials to improve efficiency, including new approaches to managing process parameters. Prospects for the application of spark plasma sintering in industry include the potential to create a new type of construction material that is in demand and can operate in conditions of high temperature and load. In this way, the review article shows how important it is to do research in the area of spark plasma sintering, which helps the fast growth of the domestic materials science industry by expanding the process's uses and making it more cost-effective.
