Current understanding and future research directions at the onset of the next century of sintering science and technology (2017, methodology): “The driving force for material transport is the difference in the chemical potential of the atoms under curved surfaces.(15,16) For an idealized geometry of a powder compact as in Figure 1, due to this chemical potential difference, atoms are transported to the particle neck (the atom sink in bondin”
A study of the densification mechanisms during spark plasma sintering of zirconium (oxy-)carbide powders (2010, background): “The sintering stress, which depends on the level of grain–pore and grain–grain interface areas in the considered material, becomes an insignificant term if the applied load is large enough [26].”
Decarbonising ceramic manufacturing: A techno-economic analysis of energy efficient sintering technologies in the functional materials sector (2019, background): “This mass transport mechanism reduces the surface area of the particulates whilst eliminating porosity [23].”
