Despite sintering has a history even longer than human civilization (its discovery dates back
at least to 25,000 years ago), in the past decade, new exciting challenges have emerged in …

As a novel electric field‐assisted sintering technique, flash sintering (FS) has gained
significant interest over the past decade due to its compelling time and cost efficiency. This …

Flash sintering has emerged as a promising opportunity for ceramic sintering, synthesis and
processing. However, three basic questions about flash sintering remain unanswered: what …

Flash sintering (FS) is a novel field-assisted sintering technology, where the ceramic is
heated internally by the Joule effect. While FS promises a tremendous reduction of ceramic …

It is widely acknowledged that electrochemical reduction occurs during DC flash sintering
(FS) of YSZ. In situ experiments have shown the emergence of new phases during FS that …

Flash sintering was discovered in 2010, where a dog‐bone‐shaped zirconia sample was
sintered at a furnace temperature of 850° C in< 5 s by applying electric fields of~ 100 V cm …

For the first time, isothermal pressureless flash sintering of 1.5 mol% yttria-stabilized zirconia
(1.5 YSZ) polycrystals designed for high toughness was performed in a 1-kHz alternating …

Flash Sintering has shown tremendous promise in reducing the sintering time and
temperature. However, significant heterogeneity in densification and microstructure was …

The effects of electric field and current during flash sintering have resulted in nonequilibrium
microstructures that are not typically observed in conventionally sintered ceramics. In this …

In this study, the challenge of high-temperature and long-time sintering of (Zn, Ta) co-doped
TiO 2 ceramics is solved successfully using flash sintering technology. Joule heating and a …
