Selective Laser Sintering 3D printers use a laser on a bed of powder to solidify a 3D object layer by layer. The laser creating a ring. While an SLS printer may be a little beyond most budgets, ...

The 3D printing market is expected to grow from USD 16.16 billion in 2025 and is estimated to reach USD 35.79 billion by 2030 ...

Field Assisted Sintering Technology/Spark Plasma Sintering (FAST/SPS) uses a DC electric current to directly heat the mould and/or sample through Joule heating. This direct heating allows high heating ...

Cold sintering involves adding a few drops of liquid to ceramic powder. Reactions between moisture, heat and pressure create denser materials compared to heating at higher temperatures without liquid.

M icrowave Sintering Mechanisms. So far, there has been little effort devoted to understanding the mechanisms and the science behind microwave sintering of metals. However, it is obvious that the ...

The researchers looked at how the maximum sintering temperature and time for rapid sintering processing affect the characteristics and microstructural evolution of 3D-printed ceramics. The quick ...

Silver sintering may not be seen as a major advantage today in silicon-based designs and reserved only for SiC wide band-gap devices, but this may change in the future. The solder alloy interface to ...

Sintering in O2 [oxygen] is ideal, yielding excellent chemical stability and low interfacial resistance,” the researchers explain in a paper published last month in the peer-reviewed journal ...

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.
