Iron ore sintering is a vital thermal process that transforms fine particles into porous, mechanically robust agglomerates, intended to enhance the performance of blast furnaces. The process is ...

Material sciences researchers are often looking for ways to improve the strength and viability of materials for a wide range of industries, including the construction industry. The need for processes ...

Microwave cold sintering process (MW-CSP) was used to densify NaCl, KDP, MgMoO₄, Li₂MoO₄, and TiO₂ ceramics. Under the fundamental densification mechanisms dominated by the coupling of the transient ...

Editor’s note: A recognized expert in powder injection molding (PIM), Randall German is Brush Chair Professor in Materials at Penn State University. PIM takes advantage of the fluid-like behavior of ...

Sintering process simulation software corrects for shrinkage and distortion of binder jet 3D printed parts during sintering, minimizing trial and error Live Sinter ...

In this study, the layered anisotropic structure of β-Li₂TiO₃ enables preferential dislocation slip under high pressure, amplified by nanoscale stress concentration, driving plastic deformation to ...

Tolerating heat and helping to reduce it are both attributes that sintering offers as an alternative to soldering in power electronics applications. Doing more with less and, of course, packing more ...
