Scientists at Harbin University in China have devised a novel two-step process that uses ...

Diborides and carbides of transition metal elements, including zirconium (Zr), hafnium (Hf), and tantalum (Ta), which are important members of the UHTCs family, exhibit good ablation resistance under ...

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 ...

A centuries-old materials bonding process is being tested aboard the International Space Station in an experiment that could pave the way for more materials research of its kind aboard the orbiting ...

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 ...

A sintering process that can produce 0.5m3 (1.6ft3) parts in around 10h is the focus of a three-year, £650,000 UK project that could lead to aerospace components 50% lighter than today. The automated, ...

Researchers demonstrate a new way to monitor the internal temperature of iron ore during sintering by combining advanced machine learning with physical and chemical modeling. Study: Real time 3D ...

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 ...
