Sintering - Mechanisms of Convention Nanodensification and Field Assisted Processes

Sintering process studies have re-emerged strongly in the past decade due to extensive discussions about the stabilization of nanoparticles and nanostructures, and the development of controlled nanograined bulk materials. This book presents the state-of-art in experiments and theory of novel sintering processes, traditional sintering and grain growth. The scope ranges from powder metallurgy to ceramic and composites processing. The challenges of conventional and novel sintering and grain growth in nanopowders and nanostructures are addressed, being useful for students as well as professionals interested in sintering at the nanoscale.

List of contents

Preface.- Overview of Conventional Sintering.- Modelling "nano-effects" in sintering.- Nanoscaled Grain Growth.- Effect of Powder Characteristics on Nanosintering.- Discrete Element Method Sintering Simulation: A grain-scale simulation approach.- Sintering of Porous Materials.- Electric Field and Current Effects on Sintering.- Field Assisted Sintering Mechanisms.- Effects of Applied Stress and Heating Rate in Field Assisted Sintering.- Characterization of Microstructures Before, During and After Densification.
