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 …

Electricity is an efficient form of energy, and the growing interest in electricity-assisted
manufacturing is motivated by its inherent energy saving and reduced environmental impact …

In this study, the challenge of high-temperature and long-time sintering of (Zn, Ta) co-doped
TiO 2 ceramics is solved successfully using flash sintering technology. Joule heating and a …

The effect of a controlled current ramp during flash sintering (FS) on the densification and
microstructural evolution of 3 mol% yttria‐stabilized zirconia was investigated. The samples …

The influence of sample size on microstructure, density, and onset temperature of the flash
event was investigated for 3 mol% yttria-stabilised zirconia (3YSZ). Pellet samples with …

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 …

Uranium dioxide (UO 2) pellets with controlled microstructures were densified up to 93.4% of
their theoretical density in less than 25 minutes at a furnace temperature of 873 K, utilizing …

A ceramic composite was produced by mixing cubic zirconia with graphene nano-platelets.
The samples were consolidated by flash sintering in argon atmosphere to avoid the …

Despite the growing interest in the spark plasma sintering (SPS) of uranium dioxide, its
sintering mechanisms have yet to be studied in great detail. Herein we propose a direct …

Composite ceramic green pellets were prepared by attrition milling a mixture of (CeO2) 0.8
(Sm2O3) 0.2 (samaria-doped ceria, SDC) ceramic powder and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) …
