Functionally graded materials (FGMs) belong to a new, continuously developing group of
materials, finding application in various branches of industry. The idea of freely designing …

This paper presents modeling of a sintering process at various scales. Sintering is a powder
metallurgy process consisting in consolidation of powder materials at elevated temperature …

This paper presents an original viscoelastic model of powder sintering developed within the
discrete element framework. The viscous model used by other authors has been enriched by …

This paper investigates the use of numerical simulations to describe solid state diffusion of
the sintering stage during a Powder Injection Moulding (PIM) process for micro-bi-material …

Copper-based composites could be widely used in automotive, electronic or electrical
industry due to their very promising thermal properties. In the present paper, Cu-AlN metal …

In order to meet the requirements of an increased efficiency applying to modern devices and
in more general terms science and technology, it is necessary to develop new materials …

The dissipated energy received by the particles during collisions in a high-energy ball-
milling can vary due to the breakage and/or aggregation of the particles, that is, a change in …

This paper presents the method for measurement of the adhesion force and fracture strength
of the interface between ceramic particles and metal matrix in ceramic reinforced-metal …

An improved hot-press method with the sintering temperature just beneath the melting point
of copper was applied to prepare copper matrix composites. Cu-based hybrid composites …

It is commonly known that the properties of sintered materials are strongly related to
technological conditions of the densification process. This paper shows the sintering …
