Recent research work has been undertaken to investigate the feasibility of forming micro-
components by combining Electrical-field activated sintering and micro-forming (Micro …

Abstract The electrical Field Activated Sintering Technology (FAST) process uses low
voltage and high current, pressure-assisted sintering and synthesis technique, which has …

External electric field-activated sintering techniques have been widely investigated and
applied for the forming of large-sized components. These techniques are, however, rarely …

In this article, a novel forming and sintering method is introduced for the forming of micro-
components in which the loose powders are loaded directly into the die, followed by …

The use of microcomponents as well as intensive competition on manufacturing cost led to
the requirement for cost-effective production of those components without much compromise …

Micro-FAST is a process concept which scales down conventional FAST to the micro-scale
process (dealing with miniature an micro-sized components) and it combines the sintering …

As demands on miniature products increase significantly, a rapid process and production
system for high-throughput, highly flexible and cost-efficient volume production of …

In this paper, a novel sintering method is introduced for the forming of microcomponents in
which the loose powders were loaded directly into the die, sintered with an external electric …

Electric field assisted sintering technique (FAST) is a single step processing operation for
producing bulk (near fully dense) materials from powders. The powder is placed in a …

There has been significant progress in the synthesis and processing of nanoparticles by
various routes including solid (eg, mechanical grinding), vapor (CVD, thermal, and electron …
