This dissertation, written by Christopher Rudolf, and entitled Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of Nanofiller Reinforced Tantalum-Niobium Carbide Formed by Spark Plasma Sintering, having been approved in respect to style and intellectual content, is referred to you for judgment.
Scalability experiments on the spark plasma sintering (SPS) of similarly shaped alumina specimens of the four different sizes are conducted. The utilized experimental methodology, based on the principle of rigorous proportionality of all the specimen and tooling dimensions, employs two different SPS devices of different scales. The processed specimens are characterized in terms of relative.
Spark-plasma sintering (SPS) and other field-assisted powder consolidation approaches provide remarkable capabilities to the processing of materials into configurations previously unattainable. Of particular significance is the possibility of using very fast heating rates, which, coupled with the field-assisted mass transport, stand behind the purported ability to achieve high densities during.
The Direct Current Sintering (DCS) furnace is Thermal Technology’s product offering for the process known as Spark Plasma Sintering (SPS) or the Field Assisted Sintering Technique (FAST). The process uses high electrical current to rapidly heat a conductive tooling assembly under simultaneous uniaxial pressure inside of a vacuum chamber. With no heating elements extremely rapid heating and.
Alloys by Mechanical Alloying Followed by Conventional and Spark Plasma Sintering Dissertation submitted to the National Institute of Technology Rourkela in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Metallurgical and Materials Engineering by Mohan Nuthalapati (Roll Number: 511MM110) under the supervision of Prof. Anindya Basu and Prof. Swapan Kumar Karak.
Composites consisting of indium tin oxide, the predominant transparent conducting oxide, as a filler within a borosilicate glass matrix have been fabricated via hot pressing (HP) and spark plasma sintering (SPS). Both sintering methods are shown to allow a grain-like glass matrix structure to form without incorporating the ITO into the glass particles, leading to the formation of segregated.
