Coupling of Spark Plasma Sintering with Advanced Modeling to Enable Process Scale-Up: LDRD Final Project Poster

Research output: Book/Report › Program Document

Abstract

Electric-field assisted sintering (EFAS) manufacturing techniques reduce energy usage requirements, fabricate near-net-shape parts, and produce bulk nanostructured materials through rapid heating and cooling rates achievable through Joule heating. Process parameters of pulsed DC voltage and constant pressure are applied through stainless steel rams and graphite tooling to the ceramic yttrium oxide powder to be sintered. Our high-fidelity modeling code application advances manufacturing for extreme environments by enabling process-informed design and improving microstructure consistency through multiphysics multiscale process-structure-property-performance correlation simulations.
