In the present study, an additive manufacturing process of copper using extrusion 3D
printing, solvent and thermal debinding, and sintering was explored. Extrusion 3D printing of …

Discovery of the capacity of microwave energy to heat materials was a major milestone in
the history of technology and scientific research. This discovery led to the development of …

The performance of many advanced materials is determined by the arrangement of their
nanostructure which requires ever more precise characterization. In this respect, X-ray …

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

Purpose Binder jetting is a promising route to produce complex copper components for
electronic/thermal applications. This paper aims to lay a framework for determining the …

In nanocrystalline materials atomic transport is enhanced by diffusion along grain
boundaries and triple junctions, aggressively accelerating sintering kinetics to the point that …

One of the main challenges of the sintering of sterling silver is the phenomenon of swelling
causing de-densification and a considerable reduction of the sintering kinetics. This swelling …

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

As the properties of sintered products are considerably affected by the microstructures
formed during sintering, numerical simulation is essential for predicting and controlling …

Applying atmospherically plasma-sprayed (APS) Mn 1.0 Co 1.9 Fe 0.1 O 4 (MCF) protective
coatings on interconnector steels minimized the chromium-related degradation within solid …
