X-ray computed tomography (CT) can reveal the internal details of objects in three
dimensions non-destructively. In this Primer, we outline the basic principles of CT and …

Sintering is a high temperature process used for ceramic or metallic powder consolidation
that consists of concurrent densification and grain growth. This work presents a coupled …

Sintering is a common process during which nanoparticles and microparticles are bonded,
leading to the shrinkage of interstitial pore space. Understanding morphological evolution …

We use discrete element method (DEM) simulations to study the evolution of defects during
sintering. In DEM, the particulate nature of the sintering powder is taken explicitly into …

Coarsening of porosity during sintering has been observed in powder compacts of metallic,
ceramic, and amorphous materials. Monitoring and modelling of the growth of individual …

The aim of this study is to present an original approach for the simulation of sintering with
Discrete Element Method, using a Non Smooth Method called Contact Dynamics. Recently …

This study proposes a kinetic Monte Carlo (KMC) model for the sintering of two-phase
composites using nickel oxide-yttria stabilized zirconia (NiO-YSZ) as a case study. An …

Ti6Al4V alloy samples with large pores suitable for bone implants are fabricated by pressing
and sintering. Ti6Al4V powder is mixed with different volume fractions of salt particles. The …

Sintering stress and bulk viscosity were derived as functions of relative density from
microtomographic images in viscous sintering of glass particles. Three methods were …

This paper presents a DEM study of the sintering of bimodal powders. The influence of every
type of contact between small–small, large–large and small–large particles on the …
