This paper introduces an innovative alternative for spark sintering, in which contactless plasma sintering (CPS) is accomplished by means of plasma arc. In this arrangement, arc current will not pass through the sample to be sintered allowing sample to not contact the arc plasma electrodes. Consequently, this method provides continuous sintering. SiC whiskers was chosen to characterize sintering parameter. The SiC refined by ball-milling to promote densification. Characterization of Silicon Carbide (SiC) were carried out with Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (FESEM) and X-Ray Diffraction (XRD). The effect of the sintering-agent Fe addition on the sintered SiC-Fe composites were investigated based on the microstructure, densification. © 2018 Author(s).
