With pure powders prepared in this way, variations have been noted in the sintering behaviour which are difficult to account for.

including chemical and physical changes during liquid and solid state sintering Non-powder routes also will be discussed. The interrelationships between processing as it controls the final ...

"In this work, we prepared Al 2 O 3 composite ceramics toughened by B 4 C@TiB 2 core–shell structural units through a combination of molten salt methodology and spark plasma sintering. Unlike ...
