Iron ore sintering plays a pivotal role in steel production by agglomerating fine iron ore particles into a porous mass suitable for blast furnace use. The optimisation of this process is critical not ...

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 ...

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 ...

A new techno-economic analysis shows that the energy intensive ceramic industry would gain both financial and environmental benefits if it moved to free the cold sintering process from languishing in ...

The basic powder metallurgy process consists of powder compaction, sintering and where necessary, post processing operations such as machining, heat treatments and surface treatments. There are some ...
