Within the past ten years, spark plasma sintering (SPS) has become an increasingly popular process for Mg manufacturing. In the SPS process, interparticle diffusion of compressed particles is rapidly achieved due to the concept of Joule heating. Compared to traditional and additive manufacturing (AM) techniques, SPS gives unique control of the structural and microstructural features of Mg components
