Compared to previous research which attempted to improve ceramic ductility via flash sintering, the new method applies to a broader range of ceramics. “Preloading dislocations may also be much ...

"In this work, we prepared Al 2 O 3 composite ceramics toughened by B 4 C@TiB 2 core–shell structural units through a ...

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 ...
