Low‐Temperature Solid‐State Sintering of High‐Strength and Electrically Conductive Silicon Carbide With Direct Current Flow and In Situ Graphitization

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 11, November 2026.
ABSTRACT Silicon carbide (SiC) is an ultra‐hard ceramic material and is intrinsically difficult to sinter. Pressureless solid‐state sintering (PS) typically requires high temperatures exceeding 2200°C and a prolonged heating cycle, whereas liquid‐phase sintering lowers the processing temperature at the expense of high‐temperature mechanical performance.
