Microstructural temperature gradient-driven diffusion: Possible densification mechanism for flash sintering of zirconia?
Microstructural temperature gradient-driven diffusion: Possible densification mechanism for flash sintering of zirconia? is a scholarly work, published in 2019 in ''Ceramics International''. The main subjects of the publication include materials science, nanocrystalline material, cubic zirconia, composite material, flash, metallurgy, cemented carbide, Grain boundary diffusion coefficient, ceramic, Yttria-stabilized zirconia, sintering, pyrochlore, grain boundary, and electric field. The authors investigate the impact of microstructural temperature gradients, associated to an overheating of the interparticle contact points, on mass transport in the different stages of flash sintering of yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ).
