The influence of various dopants (500 ppm MgO and Y 2 O 3; 250 ppm ZrO 2) on sintering of
fine-grained alumina ceramics was evaluated by high-temperature dilatometry. The …

One of the different issues limiting the wider application of monolithic hydroxyapatite (HA) as
an ideal bone replacement material is the lack of reasonably good electrical transport …

The ease and ability to predict sintering shrinkage and densification with the Skorohod–
Olevsky viscous sintering (SOVS) model within a finite‐element (FE) code have been …

This paper describes a study of shrinkage behavior in the liquid phase sintering of silicon
carbide, SiC, using eutectic mixtures of Al 2 O 3+ Dy 2 O 3 and Al 2 O 3+ Yb 2 O 3 as liquid …

The quality of magnetite pellet is primarily determined by the physico-chemical changes the
pellet undergoes as it makes excursion through the gaseous and thermal environment in the …

Master sintering curve (MSC) was used as a practical approach to analyse the sintering
behavior of an ultrafine alumina powder. Non-isothermal sintering was carried out at three …

During induration of magnetite pellets, oxidation of magnetite followed by sintering of the
oxidized magnetite (hematite) is desirable. Sintering of magnetite which hampers the …

The shrinkage behaviors of BaTiO 3 ceramics in a nonisothermal process were
quantitatively monitored to clarify the mechanism of two-step sintering. During the increase …

The master sintering curve (MSC) can sometimes be used for analyzing the shrinkage
behaviour of ceramics. Densification of α-Al2O3 with the mean particle size of 350nm was …

The master sintering curve (MSC), in which the sintered density is a unique function of the
integral of a temperature function over time, is insensitive to the heating path. Densification …
