Flash sintering is a novel densification technology for ceramics, which allows a dramatic
reduction of processing time and temperature. It represents a promising sintering route to …

During flash sintering, ceramic materials can sinter to high density in a matter of seconds
while subjected to electric field and elevated temperature. This process, which occurs at …

Using ZnO as a model system, the densification mechanisms of flash sintering are
investigated. Controlled experiments via limiting the maximum current or the effective ramp …

Spark plasma and flash sintering process characteristics together with their corresponding
sintering and densification mechanisms and field effects were briefly reviewed. The …

Electric‐field‐assisted sintering of ceramic materials is under considerable attention during
recent years. The current research is reviewed with a focus on mechanism research …

Flash sintering has been shown to be an effective method of sintering for many types of
ceramics. However, the characteristics of flash sintering for each type of ceramic varies …

Recently, local melting of the particle surfaces confirmed the formation of spark and plasma
during spark plasma sintering, which explains the rapid densification mechanism via liquid …

This viewpoint article critically assesses several scientific and technological questions

Abstract In this work, the 0.67 BiFeO 3-0.33 BaTiO 3 ferroelectric ceramic was prepared by
Reaction Flash Sintering (RFS). This preparation technique combines synthesis and …

Herein, we report the densification behavior of a typical electric ceramic, barium titanate
(BaTiO 3), and highlight the role of oxygen vacancies in rapid densification of BaTiO 3 …
