Flash sintering is a novel densification technology for ceramics, which allows a dramatic
reduction of processing time and temperature. It represents a promising sintering route to …

During flash sintering, ceramic materials can sinter to high density in a matter of seconds
while subjected to electric field and elevated temperature. This process, which occurs at …

The large bank of data for ceramics from experiments in flash sintering reveal a surprising
characteristic: that the transition to a highly nonlinear rise in electrical conductivity—a …

Isothermal field-assisted sintering of two-phase, 50 vol% 3YSZ-alumina composites exhibit
an incubation time for the onset of the flash event. Weaker applied fields and lower …

The effect of DC electric field on sintering, and on the electrical conductivity of undoped
rutile, TiO 2 (99.99%), has been investigated at fields ranging from 0 V to 1000 V/cm. The …

Conventional sintering is a time-and energy-consuming process used for the densification of
consolidated particles facilitated by atomic diffusion at high temperatures. Nanoparticles …

The optical glow of ceramics that becomes established during the constant state of flash,
known as Stage III in flash sintering experiments, is investigated. The specimen temperature …

Systematic microstructural statistics for 3 mol% yttria‐stabilized zirconia synthesized by both
conventional sintering and flash sintering with AC and DC current were obtained. Within the …

Abstract (Ca, Ta) co-doped TiO 2 ceramics were successfully prepared using flash sintering
technology, and the effects of oxygen vacancies on the rapid densification and giant …

In current-rate flash-sintering experiments the current is injected into the specimen from the
very start and then increased at a constant rate, while the furnace is held at a constant …
