Defects produced during selective laser sintering (SLS) are difficult to non-destructively detect after build completion without the use of X-ray-based methods. Overcoming this issue by assessing ...

Sintering of powders is a common means of producing bulk materials when melt casting is impossible or does not achieve a desired microstructure, and has long been pursued for nanocrystalline materials ...

A novel ultra-fast high-temperature pre-sintering (UHS) followed by conventional pressureless sintering (CS) strategy was employed for the first time to prepare transparent AlON ceramics. The prepared ...

With the aim to improve the thermal conductivity of yttria dispersed AlN ceramics through a short time and low temperature treatment under nitrogen atmosphere, millimeter wave (MMW) heating was ...
