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 ...

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 ...

Silicon nitride ceramics are widely used in structural applications because they have low density yet are very tough. Their damage tolerance is based upon an interlocking microstructure of elongated ...

Renewably sourced biomaterials and lower sintering temperature result in a more sustainable substrate for powder bed fusion technologies requiring less energy use and a carbon footprint 89% smaller ...

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 ...

In moldmaking, manufacturers are constantly searching for ways to increase productivity by cutting production time and costs. Today, a hybrid process exists that allows additive machining and milling ...
