The advantage of this process is that it allows very quick densification to near theoretical density and prohibition of grain growth in nanostructured materials. A dense nanostructured TiC and WC hard material with a relative density of up to 98% was produced with simultaneous application of 80 MPa pressure and pulsed current of 3000 A within two minutes. The sintering behavior, microstructure and mechanical properties of binderless TiC and WC were investigated.
