Abstract Scope |
In this study, spark plasma sintering (SPS) technology combined with additive manufacturing (AM) technique - was used to produce transparent alumina with complex shapes. This novel net-shaping approach synergistically combines the capabilities of AM and SPS in producing complex components made of transparent ceramics. This method was capable of achieving specimens’ full densification and uniform transparency in alumina together with a complex shape. The developed method has the potential for fabricating transparent ceramics of various materials with uniform transparency. The conducted studies include the development of a model based on the continuum theory of sintering that can predict the density, grain growth, and geometric evolution of the complex-shaped powder assembly during the sintering process. |
