XRD and SAED confirmed the presence of single-phase cubic garnet in the dense bulk ceramic with no detectable crystallographic texture. Rietveld analysis revealed relatively large crystallite sizes in the range of 165-350 nm. SEM observations showed that magnetic fields during magnetic slip casting, especially of high value (12T), promote the organization of local mesoscale grain assemblies with a preferential spatial arrangement, forming two-dimensional magnetically correlated regions. Magnetic measurements indicate that this mesoscale structure significantly affects the low-field magnetic behavior, as evidenced by pronounced ZFC-FC irreversibility and anisotropic magnetic response. Despite distinct magnetic relaxation patterns caused by microstructural differences, all magnetic slip-casted samples exhibit the same elevated compensation temperature (<em>θ</em><sub><em>C</em></sub> = 336 K), which is primarily attributed to the large crystallite sizes achieved through the processing route. Comparison with the 0T slip-casted reference sample indicates that the enhanced compensation behaviour is primarily associated with the processing-induced local structural/microstructural state rather than directly with the applied magnetic field.

The effects of pulsed current on joint densification and element diffusion were investigated under different welding temperatures. The influence of pulsed current density on grain size evolution was also analyzed. The results showed that pulsed current enhanced the diffusion of Ti and Zr as well as the migration of vacancies through electromigration, thereby promoting joint densification and reducing the joining temperature required for dense bonding by approximately 100 °C. A maximum shear strength of 184.5 MPa was achieved. Under low current density, the coupled electric–thermal–mechanical fields promoted the 3C→6H polymorphic transformation of SiC and facilitated the formation of low-energy Σ3 and Σ9 grain boundaries. Homogeneous elemental diffusion, fine precipitate formation, and the transformation toughening of ZrO<sub>2</sub> effectively relieved residual stresses and suppressed crack propagation. In contrast, excessive current density induced local overheating, nonequilibrium elemental segregation, and microstructural coarsening, leading to the precipitation of coarse SiC-3C, ZrC, and ZrSi<sub>2</sub> phases and a consequent reduction in joint performance.
