Kissinger-Style Kinetic Analysis for Sintering Dilatometry Data

The kinetics of densification during sintering are often analyzed by techniques such as the master curve and Wang–Raj analysis to determine activation energies. These methods, while versatile, do not always form a complete picture or isolate individual processes that occur sintering. This report develops rate peak method for determining energies analogous traditional Kissinger chemical reactions. difference between using present is explored evaluated range theoretical examples. Finally, three previous reports re-examined with new analysis: ThO2-4 pct UO2, Gd Bi co-doped ceria, mechanically alloyed W-Cu. results obtained Kissinger-style in line MSC WR where appropriate, expand information from data beyond original some cases.
