A procedure for electric pulse consolidation of commercial UO 2 powders of various ceramic
grades into high-density fuel pellets using dies of various types was studied. The influence …

Road adhesion coefficient is an important parameter in vehicle active safety control system.
Many researchers estimate road adhesion coefficient by total tire self-aligning torque (SAT …

The possibilities of creating special-purpose ceramics by the spark plasma sintering (SPS)
according to the principle of the low-voltage electro-pulse consolidation of powders under …

Nuclear fuel undergoes a significant restructuration during its lifetime in the nuclear reactor.
Especially at the rim of the pellet, large UO 2 grains disintegrate into a nanosized material. In …

The electric field has a large effect on the stoichiometry and grain growth of UO2+ x during
Spark Plasma Sintering. UO2+ x is gradually reduced to UO2. 00 as a function of sintering …

ABSTRACT γ-aluminium oxynitride (AlON) has an excellent thermal and chemical stability,
which makes AlON an attractive candidate for a wide range of applications. Production of …

Three different spark plasma sintering (SPS) treatments were applied to highly sinteractive,
near-stoichiometric UO 2.04 nanocrystalline (5 nm) powders produced by U (IV) oxalate …

Despite the growing interest in the spark plasma sintering (SPS) of uranium dioxide, its
sintering mechanisms have yet to be studied in great detail. Herein we propose a direct …

We analysed with different methods the densification of UO 2 nanopowders in SPS under
constant heating rate (CHR) and isothermal sintering conditions. The apparent activation …

Ceramic-metallic nuclear fuels are a candidate fuel for nuclear thermal propulsion systems
due to their high heat transport properties, which are necessary in very high-temperature …
