In situ measurement of dimensional changes and temperature fields during sintering with a novel thermooptical measuring device

In situ measurement of the shrinkage during microwave sintering

“…It could be an important breakthrough to follow up the shrinkage during microwave sintering. This paper reports, for the first time according to our knowledge, shrinkage curves recorded during microwave sintering by an optical method, which is similar to the one presented by J. Baber in a recent paper (Baber et al, 2007). However, in our study, the sintering shrinkage will be recorded during the microwave irradiation of the materials and not in a conventional furnace.…”

Fabrication and performance of a tubular ceria based oxygen transport membrane on a low cost MgO support

“…It is reported in the literature that the Ni/MgO phase exhibits high MgO support (MgO-S) layers and, as well as strain rate difference between the two different layers for free sintering as function of sintering temperature. Measurements were performed at two different heating rates of 0.5 K min À1 (dotted lines): and 3 K min À1 (continuous lines) with an optical dilatometer TOMMI [26]. catalytic activity in POM (partial oxidation of methane) operation as elemental nickel can be dispersed uniformly in the interface and eventually enhance the catalytic reaction [29].…”

Sintering process optimization for multi-layer CGO membranes by in situ techniques

“…27 and a specifically set-up equipment for van der Pauw conductivity measurements 28 were used to follow the shrinkage, shape distortion and conductivity of the CGO layers during densification.…”
