Sintering shape distortions controlled by interface roughness in powder composites

Fabrication of Net-Shape Functionally Graded Composites by Electrophoretic Deposition and Sintering: Modeling and Experimentation

It is shown that electrophoretic deposition (EPD) sintering is a technological sequence that is capable of producing net-shape bulk functionally graded materials (FGM). By controlling the shape of the deposition electrode, components of complex shapes can be obtained. To enable sintering net-shape capabilities, a novel optimization algorithm and procedure for the fabrication of net-shape functi...

Metal Powder-filled Polyethylene Composites. v. Thermal Properties Metal Powder-filled Polyethylene Composites. v. Thermal Properties

Thermal properties—such as thermal conductivity, thermal diffusivity, and specific heat—of metal (copper, zinc, iron, and bronze) powder-filled high-density polyethylene composites are investigated experimentally in the range of filler content 0–24% by volume. Experimental results show a region of low particle content, 0–16% by volume, where the particles are distributed homogeneously in the po...

Modelling shape distortions in composite products

Woven fabric reinforced composite materials are typically applied in plate or shell structures, such as ribs, stiffeners and skins. Products of this type can be manufactured with several processes. A few examples are compression moulding, diaphragm forming, matched metal die forming and Rubber Press Forming (RPF). Shape distortions can occur during manufacturing of composite products. During th...
