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 …

Despite sintering has a history even longer than human civilization (its discovery dates back
at least to 25,000 years ago), in the past decade, new exciting challenges have emerged in …

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 (FS) is a novel field-assisted sintering technology, where the ceramic is
heated internally by the Joule effect. While FS promises a tremendous reduction of ceramic …

This viewpoint article critically assesses several scientific and technological questions
regarding flash sintering:(1) How does a flash start?(2) What are the possible mechanisms …

Field‐assisted processing techniques can enhance the kinetics of powder synthesis,
accelerate sintering processes, and drive phase transformations at significantly lower …

Flash Sintering (FS), a relatively new Field-Assisted Sintering Technique (FAST) for ceramic
processing, was proposed for the first time in 2010 by Prof. Rishi Raj's group from the …

This work presents an extension of the touch‐free flash sintering technique. In the proposed
technique, chemical reaction and sintering occur in a single step, without the use of …

We report on flash sintering using a contactless approach. The process is based on
dielectric barrier discharge atmospheric cold plasma which allows flash sintering without …

Reactive flash sintering (RFS) is a method that was recently developed to produce dense
single‐phase bulk ceramic parts through solid‐state reactions in a single‐step that only …
