... printed require some form of post-sintering processing to reduce the electrical resistance. Many companies develop these materials, but only provide a narrow range of post processing results to demonstrate the achievable conductivity values. In this paper, a design of experiment (DOE) is presented...

... In the powder-based electron beam additive manufacturing (EBAM) process, preheating is applied, prior to the melting stage, to aggregate precursor powders and to reduce the residual stresses in the build parts. Preheating results in sintering of the powders, which serve as the initial work...

... and (3) use of sintering aids. Under the same compaction and sintering condition, a variety of powder mixtures were produced, whose initial packing density and final sintered density were measured and compared in order to determine the optimal combination. The elastic modulus of each sample was also...

... 27 07 2009 A powder mixture of ZrO 2 +WO 3 and ZrO 2 powder were stacked, co-compacted and co-sintered in the processing steps commonly used to fabricate multi-layer materials. However, the observation of the cross-sectional microstructures as well as the measurement of the radial...
