Abstract
An electric sintering mold includes a clamping portion for clamping a powder material, the material clamped by the clamping portion being subjected to a pressure from a pressurizer and a pulsating electric current externally supplied, so that joule heat is generated within the material for sintering the material. The mold is formed of material containing metal boride having electroconductivity. An electric sintering apparatus using such mold and an electric sintering method utilizing such apparatus and mold are also disclosed.
