The application of an electric field over a ceramic powder compact at elevated temperatures gives rise to “flash sintering”. phenomenon occurs critical combination and temperature, which leads rapid increase in the power dissipated within sample. This results sample densification far shorter timescales than those required with conventional sintering. paper reports first successful pressureless ...

Flash sintering has attracted much attention as a useful technique that is able to lower the furnace temperature and shorten time. To further improve this original flash technique, we have developed facilitate shrinkage at constant rate by controlling power dissipation during state, which termed shrinkage-controlled (SCF) sintering. Here, combine SCF method with rapid heating process entire Acc...

Reactive flash-sintering technique has been used in order to obtain strontium ferrite magnets from a mixture of SrCO3 and Fe2O3 commercial powders. This allows preparing sintered SrFe12O19 at furnace temperature just 973 K during 2 min by applying modest field 40 V cm-1, instead the conventional sintering process employed magnet manufacturing that demands high long dwell times. Analysis structu...

Carbon nanotube-copper (CNT/Cu) composites have been successfully synthesized by means of a novel particles-compositing process followed by spark plasma sintering (SPS) technique. The thermal conductivity of the composites was measured by a laser flash technique and theoretical analyzed using an effective medium approach. The experimental results showed that the thermal conductivity unusually d...
