Recent studies have shown that applying an electric field, or “flash,” significantly accelerates the sintering process that forms YSZ and other ceramics, and at much lower furnace temperatures ...

Ceramic coatings provide both performance and aesthetic benefits for a range of materials. Their inherent resistance to chemicals and temperature make ceramic coated parts ideal for a wide range of ...

Ceramic additive manufacturing holds potential for high-performance applications, but technical challenges remain a barrier ...

Cold sintering presents a transformative approach to ceramic and composite fabrication, utilising markedly lower temperatures than conventional sintering methods. By employing either a transient ...

In this study, the authors described a method for quick sintering of ceramic components with complicated forms at 300-450°C/min using lithography-based additive manufacturing of alumina ceramics.

Ceramic industry should use carbon reducing cold sintering process says new research Date: October 21, 2019 Source: University of Warwick Summary: A new techno-economic analysis shows that the ...

The novel anti-soiling coating was presented in the study “ Field tests of a self-sintering, anti-soiling, self-cleaning, nanoporous metal oxide, transparent thin film coating for solar ...

Americarb has launched a commercial-grade Ceramic Matrix Composite (CMC) designed for sintering metal powder parts.

Ordinarily, when ceramic items are manufactured, the raw material has to be fired in a kiln at temperatures exceeding 1,000 ºC (1,832 ºF). Needless to say, it's a very energy-intensive process ...

But by flash-sintering a heat-resistant ceramic called yttria-stabilized zirconia, or sintering it while applying an electric field, the researchers could introduce those sorts of defects. When ...
