Spark plasma sintering (SPS), also known as pulsed electric current sintering (PECS) or
field-assisted sintering technique (FAST), belongs to a class of powder metallurgy …

The sintering densification trajectory for titanium powder is identified in terms of the
interaction between mass transport processes and microstructure evolution. During initial …

As sintering applications march toward a $30 billion global business, the models for
sintering have progressed, but generally follow behind observation. Documentation of the …

Tetragonal (3mol% Y2O3) and two cubic zirconia (8mol% Y2O3) as well as alumina green
bodies were used for the construction of the Master Sintering Curve (MSC) created from sets …

The concept of a Master Sintering Curve (MSC) is a strong tool for optimizing the sintering
process. However, constructing the MSC from sintering data involves complicated and time …

The influence of various dopants (500 ppm MgO and Y 2 O 3; 250 ppm ZrO 2) on sintering of
fine-grained alumina ceramics was evaluated by high-temperature dilatometry. The …

Nano/micro-bimodal powders take advantages of both nano-and micro-powders. However,
densification of the bimodal powder samples is hardly predictable with conventional …

Eight mol% of YSZ is considered as one of the most promising electrolyte materials for solid
oxide fuel cell. Small amount of Al2O3 is often added to 8YSZ to enhance its mechanical …

Abstract Bi 2 O 3 and Gd 2 O 3 co-doped CeO 2 is a promising electrolyte for its high
electrical conductivity and low sintering temperature, but its densification behavior and the …

Nano powder had various advantages on powder metallurgy process. However, because of
its high price and difficulties in treatment, nano powder cannot be easily applied to the field …
