Sintering of nanocrystalline materials: Sintering parameters
Nanostructured materials (NsM) are typical materials with structural length scales of one, two, or three dimensions in the range of 1-100 nm. In the development of NsM, the microstructure of a material, which is an integral factor in determining the intrinsic performance of a material, is susceptible to changes that may hinder the desired nano-state ...

Densification and preservation of ceramic nanocrystalline character by spark plasma sintering [PDF]
Spark plasma sintering is a hot pressing technique where rapid heating by dc electric pulses is used simultaneously with applied pressure. Thus, spark plasma sintering is highly suitable for rapid densification of ceramic nanoparticles and preservation ...

Influence of pulse current during Spark Plasma Sintering evidenced on reactive alumina–hematite powders [PDF]
Spark Plasma Sintering (SPS) is increasingly used. The temperature and current are not independent parameters, making it difficult to separate the current intrinsic role from Joule heating.

Sintering Kinetics of Plasma-Sprayed Zirconia TBCs
A model of the sintering exhibited by EB-PVD TBCs, based on principles of free energy minimization, was recently published by Hutchinson et al. In the current paper, this approach is applied to sintering of plasma-sprayed TBCs and comparisons are made ...

Grain growth stagnation in fully dense nanocrystalline Y2O3 by spark plasma sintering. [PDF]
Nanocrystalline (nc) Y2O3 powders with 18nmcrystallite size were sintered using spark plasma sintering (SPS) at 1100 ◦C and 100MPa for different durations. Specimens with 98% density and 106±33nm mean grain size were formed after 20 min.
