AB Manufacturing metallic materials from elemental or alloyed powders is an option in manyindustrial processes. Nevertheless, the traditional powder metallurgy processing including furnacesintering is at times detrimental for the microstructure attained in the powders. Alternative sinteringprocesses based on the use of electricity and the energy obtained by the Joule effect in powderparticles can be quick enough to avoid microstructural changes. In particular, when the energy isstored in a capacitor and then discharged, the heating process is extremely quick, lasting millisecondsor even microseconds. This process, generally known as electrical discharge consolidation, has beenapplied to a wide variety of metallic materials, easily preserving the original microstructure of thepowders. Both porous or homogeneous and highly densified material can be obtained, and withoutlosing the desired properties of the consolidated material. A general overview of the process andapplications, as well as the results obtained by different research groups around the world, havebeen reviewed in this manuscript.
