Reactive flash sintering of SrFe12O19 ceramic permanent magnets

Improved performance of SrFe12O19 bulk magnets through bottom-up nanostructuring.

The influence of synthesis and compaction parameters is investigated with regards to formation of high performance SrFe12O19 bulk magnets. The produced magnets consist of highly aligned, single-magnetic domain nanoplatelets of SrFe12O19. The relationship between the magnetic performance of the samples and their structural features is established through systematic characterization by Vibrating ...

Liquid Film Capillary Mechanism for Densification of Ceramic Powders during Flash Sintering

Recently, local melting of the particle surfaces confirmed the formation of spark and plasma during spark plasma sintering, which explains the rapid densification mechanism via liquid. A model for rapid densification of flash sintered ceramics by liquid film capillary was presented, where liquid film forms by local melting at the particle contacts, due to Joule heating followed by thermal runaw...

8YSZ sintering by flash sintering method and evaluation of process parameters

Flash sintering as a new sintering method for sintering of ceramic materials has been studied and effect of various parameter such as flash current density, time of flash and contact paste on properties of flash sintered 8YSZ samples has been investigated. Results showed it is possible to achieve high density in shorter time and lower temperature than conventional sintering methods. Samples cou...

Sintering properties of zirconia-based ceramic composite

This study examines the effects of different ZrB2 content on various mechanical properties and electrical conductivity of ZrB2/Y-TZP composite. Composites with ZrB2 content of up to 20 wt-% were particularly beneficial at the lower sintering temperature range by achieving greater densification and better hardness than Y-TZP monolith. In contrast to the trends estimated from rule of mixture, the...
