process has direct effect on the better contact between particles
and also changes the amount and morphology of those contacts
which results in proper densification [26].
According to the author's knowledge, investigation on the
densification and mechanical properties of aluminum-boron car-
bide composite prepared by microwave and spark plasma pro-
cessing have been rarely reported. The aimof the present work is to
investigate the effect of fast sintering techniques of microwave and
spark plasma on densification behavior, microstructure and me-
chanic properties of aluminum-boron carbide composite.
