Microstructure evolution of gadolinium doped cerium oxide under large thermal gradients

Study on the Ultra-Precision Machining of Polycrystalline Tin

“…It was reported that several metals can obtain the effect of grain size amplification by large thermal gradient treatment. Maruyama et al [10] found that after heating ceria with a large thermal gradient of 0.3-0.5 /µm, the grain size of ceria increased from 8 µm increased to 37 µm. In this study, an induction discharge plasma-assisted cutting (PaC) method is proposed to reduce the influence of grain boundary steps on the surface roughness in the SPDT of polycrystalline tin.…”
