Sintering and accompanying microstructural evolution is inarguably the most important step
in the processing of ceramics and hard metals. In this process, an ensemble of particles is …

Sintering, as a thermal process at elevated temperature below the melting point, is widely
used to bond contacting particles into engineering products such as ceramics, metals …

The ceramic cores used in advanced aero-engine blades are becoming increasingly
complex. Vat photopolymerisation 3D printing core technology has been used to …

Metal additive manufacturing (AM) can be achieved by first extruding polymer-based
filaments with densely filled metal particles to create the so-called 'green'parts and then …

Sintering is a common technique for the production of ceramic, metallic and composite
bodies and components. During this process it is known that internal stresses can arise from …

A roadmap for advanced ceramics for the period from 2010 to 2025 has been developed to
provide guidelines for future investments for policy makers, scientists and industry alike …

In the domain of ceramic additive manufacturing, sintering is a key step for controlling the
final shape and mechanical strength of a 3D object. The thermal treatment of the printed …

A three-dimensional application of the discrete element method to free, constrained and
pressure-assisted solid-state sintering of powders is presented. Special emphasis is laid on …

A novel class of preceramic paper may serve as a preform to manufacture lightweight as
well as multilayer ceramic products. In this article, we discuss the formation, microstructure …

The sintering model described in Part I, which relates to free-standing plasma-sprayed
thermal barrier coatings, is extended here to the case of a coating attached to a rigid …
