### Sample One

For sample one, the die assembly shown in [sample_one] was used. Thermal and electric contact resistance was simulated on either contact surface with the stainless steel electrodes, which had the geometry shown in [sps_schematic]. The current source was turned on at t = 0, held for 20 minutes, and then turned off. The assembly was then allowed to cool back to ambient temperature (293 K) for another 40 minutes.

### Sample Four

For sample four, the die assembly shown in [sample_four] was used. Thermal and electric contact resistance was simulated on either contact surface with the stainless-steel electrodes, which had the geometry shown in [sps_schematic]. The current source was turned on at t = 0, held for 10 minutes, and then turned off. The assembly was then allowed to cool back to ambient temperature (293 K) for another 20 minutes. The potential results are shown in [sample_four_potential] with the temperature results shown in [sample_four_temperature]. Considering that sample four is the more geometrically “complicated” model under examination here, there are many horizontal surfaces nearby other vertical surfaces (and vice versa). As previously seen in both conducting and non-conducting powders, heat transfer from the surrounding domain is an important part of the SPS process, and some component of that is lost in this formulation.

The potential results are shown in [sample_four_potential] with the temperature results shown in [sample_four_temperature]. Considering that sample four is the more geometrically “complicated” model under examination here, there are many horizontal surfaces nearby other vertical surfaces (and vice versa). As previously seen in both conducting and non-conducting powders, heat transfer from the surrounding domain is an important part of the SPS process, and some component of that is lost in this formulation.

Overall, results for both potential and temperature were in excellent agreement with the experimental data for potential. For the temperature prediction, the COMSOL and MALAMUTE models once again tracked well with each other, but both deviated within the die region (where the powder resides) and in the cool-down period.

A tabulated comparison of the MALAMUTE code performance with that of Cincotti’s (COMSOL) code is shown below, with data points taken just before the current source was turned off in the model.

As the model became more geometrically complicated, the deviations for each model relatively reduced, giving both MALAMUTE and COMSOL codes good agreement (less than 2.5% relative difference by sample four).
