A new ceramic sintering approach employing plastic deformation as the dominant
mechanism is proposed, at low temperature close to the onset point of grain growth and …

In this work, TaC ceramics with a high density (98.6%) and fine grains (1.42 µm) were
fabricated by high pressure sintering. The as-sintered specimen possessed a high …

Over the years, the self-propagating high-temperature synthesis (SHS) has become an
interesting research field to prepare a large numbers of advanced materials. Recently, the …

The hot‐pressing kinetics of boron carbide at different stages in the hot‐pressing process
was investigated. Based general densification equation and pore‐dragged creep model, the …

In this work, we report a study on the rapid densification of bulk nanograin gadolinium
zirconate (Gd 2 Zr 2 O 7, GZO) ceramics with an average grain size below 10 nm at a …

Al2O3–ZrB2 in situ composites of 97% of theoretical density were successfully fabricated by
a novel self-propagating high temperature synthesis (SHS) dynamic compaction, using less …

Abstract (TiB 2+ Al 2 O 3)/NiAl composites were synthesized by self-propagation high-
temperature synthesis, and their phase compositions, microstructures and evolution modes …

Traditionally, densification and grain growth are two competing processes in sintering of
ceramics. To improve the density, while limiting grain growth at the same time, an ultrahigh …

Vortex casting is one of the simplest methods of producing metal matrix composites (MMCs).
However, this simple method does have some drawbacks, which reduce the mechanical …

The microstructure development of sintered alumina at different stages in the spark plasma
sintering process has been investigated. Based on classical kinetics laws and adapted …
