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 …

Sintering and accompanying microstructural evolution is inarguably the most important step
in the processing of ceramics and hard metals. In this process, an ensemble of particles is …

Emerging trends in manufacturing such as light weighting, increased performance and
functionality increases the use of multi-material, hybrid structures and thus the need for …

In the last two decades, fibre-reinforced SiC ceramic-matrix composites (CMCs) have
attracted extensive interests. Owing to the designable multi-scale microstructure feature and …

ABSTRACTs The need for fully dense material with well-engineered microstructures has led
to the promising emergence of innovative sintering technologies among which the Spark …

SiC ceramic and SiC-based composites are promising structural materials for nuclear
applications. This paper gives a viewpoint of the basic characterization and research …

With the advantage of high temperature resistance, low expansion, low density and
excellent thermal stability, carbon fiber reinforced ceramic composites have a very wide …

Ceramics are difficult to machine into complex shapes due to their high hardness and
brittleness. In practical applications, ceramics often need to be jointed to themselves or …

SiC ceramics were brazed by electric field-assisted sintering technology using
CoFeCrNiCuTi high-entropy alloy as joining filler. The effect on the interface microstructure …

CVD-SiC coated and uncoated ceramic matrix composites (C f/SiC and SiC f/SiC) were
joined to their counterparts with a pre-sintered Ti 3 SiC 2 foil using Spark Plasma Sintering …
