The tensile creep of 3 mol% Y 2 O 3 stabilized tetragonal ZrO 2 ceramics under a DC field
was systematically investigated. The results show that the deformation mechanism of the …

The aim of this paper is to investigate the mechanism of an electric current-assisted
superplastic deformation on 3Y-TZP in an oxygen-lean atmosphere. The experiments were …

Traditional methods for strengthening ceramics rely on reasonable strategies implemented
in material preparation and/or sintering process, but few of them can improve the strength of …

The study aims at unravelling the effect of fast and ultrafast electric current-assisted sintering
on the plasticity of ultrahard binderless tungsten carbide. The small-scale deformation of …

The apparent activation energy of sintering for 8-mol%-Y 2 O 3-doped ZrO 2 during
shrinkage-rate-controlled flash sintering was determined using a master sintering curve. The …

The MgAl 2 O 4 transparent ceramic was firstly flash joined in 3 min at 1500° C by applying
direct current (DC) electric field. Three-point flexural strength of the joints reached …

Shaping of dense ceramics is difficult due to their inherent brittleness. Nanograined
ceramics like tetragonal zirconia (TZP) can be superplastically deformed and shaped at high …

We report a novel electro-nano-pulsing (ENP) processing method to achieve localized
engineering of grain boundary (GB) morphology in polycrystalline metallic materials. ENP is …

In engineering applications, the phenomenon of cracking is often accompanied by a
coupled multiphysics effect. Peridynamics (PD) is an effective approach for solving cracking …

Our study aimed to comprehend how variations in flash sintering parameters affect the
evolution of microstructure and electrical properties of yttria-stabilised zirconia. For this …
