Pulsed Current Sintering (PCS) process possesses some problems that need to beresolved. We, therefore aims at understanding phenomena of PCS process by presenting some basicdata on in situ sintering behavior of PCS. In order to observe in situ sintering behavior of PCS, aspecial graphite mold equipped with thermo couple and electrodes were designed to measure thetemperature, electric current and voltage inside the powder during PCS process. We apply threetypes of raw materials, especially for ZnO (thermoelectric material) as semiconductor, Al2O3 asnon-conductor and WC (Tungsten Carbide) as good conductor. The observation succeeded andsome valuable data were obtained. The results showed that the temperature in the Al2O3 powder is100 K higher than the graphite mold at the temperature of 1473K and ZnO powder is 150 K higherthan the graphite mold at the temperature of 1373K. The electric current and voltage were measuredfor each powder during PCS process. In addition, their electric resistance properties were calculated.The electric resistance showed different behavior
