The real objects of desire though are unlikely to grace the average hackspace. Selective Laser Sintering 3D printers use a laser on a bed of powder to solidify a 3D object layer by layer.

Professor Suk-Joong L Kang, recently published a textbook titled ‘Problems and Solutions in Sintering Science and Technology.

With pure powders prepared in this way, variations have been noted in the sintering behaviour which are difficult to account for.

Controlled and rapid solid-state sintering process for a wide range of powder and particulate materials. It can consolidate a wide-range of metallic, ceramic, and functional materials. Capability to ...

Reducing atmospheres are, by far, most commonly used for sintering metal parts. Pure hydrogen is an excellent reducing gas, but it is not economical except in case of high valued products. Hydrogen is ...

Batch-type furnaces are used for sintering in protective atmospheres when the quantities produced do not warrant installing continuous furnaces. A typical box-type sintering furnace is shown in Fig. 6 ...

A review by researchers at Shanghai Jiao Tong University explores the latest strategies for achieving low-temperature densification of ceria-based barrier layers in solid oxide cells (SOCs). These ...
