Methods such as the master sintering curve (MSC) or the kinetics method proposed by
Wang and Raj (WR) are well-known techniques for determining the activation energy of …

Sintering is a key step in the processing of high performance ceramics. Both the density and
the grain size play a crucial role on the ceramic sintering kinetics and the final material …

Controlling microstructure and density of MgAl 2 O 4 spinel is a crucial step in the
elaboration of industrial ceramics products. Understanding the sintering characteristics is a …

Surface diffusion is considered the primary mechanism for low temperature sintering
properties of Cu nano-solders. However, how surface diffusion affects the sintering quality …

Tests were performed to investigate the microstructure of the interface between alumina and
spinel materials after high temperature thermal treatment (1500° C). The first test involved co …

This study explores high-purity Alumina's sintering and densification behavior, specifically
the CT3000 SG variation, which traditionally requires high temperatures for full densification …

It is desired that the electrolytes used in solid oxide fuel cells have a dense structure. Ceria-
based electrolytes require temperatures of 1400-1500oC to densify. High densification …

Alumina ceramics with microtunnels are produced by compressing submicron sized alumina
powder and Ti, Cu or stainless steel wires in a metal die before firing the compacts at 1350 …
