Optically transparent ceramics by spark plasma sintering of oxide nanoparticles

Sintering of Ceramics

Sintering with low frequency rf power (-50 M H z ) is a new technique with unique capabilities that has been used to sinter a variety of ceramic materials, including zirconia-toughened alumina, alumina, silicon carbide, and boron carbide. Processing with low frequencies offers many advantages compared to processing with conventional microwave frequencies (915 MHz and 2.45 GHz). Because of the l...

Direct Laser Sintering of Ceramics

For more than one decade layer manufacturing technologies assist the development of new products. Due to a layer-wise build-up of a three-dimensional geometry, nearly every complex design is producible in a short period of time. Selective Laser Sintering is a powderbased technique to produce plastic prototypes (Rapid Prototyping) or metal mould inserts (Rapid Tooling). The laser sintering of ce...

Microwave Sintering of Thermistor Ceramics

Microwave sintering is a new sintering technology developed in the middle to late period of the 1980’s, which is characterized by fast densification for ceramic materials[1]. In recent years, microwave heating has been well employed in the field of sintering and joining of ceramics as a result of its advantages against conventional methods. These ceramic materials include oxides, mixed oxides, ...

Practical classes " Ceramics & Colloids " : TP 3 Sintering 1 TP 3 - Ceramics : Sintering and Microstructure

After the initial molding of the ceramic, whether by slip casting or dry pressing, it is still necessary to densify the compacted powder samples (green bodies) to form a continuous 3D structure and thus to get ceramic pieces appropriate for the selected application. Usually this is done by a sintering process which is a consolidation and densification step of the granular compact through the ac...
