The DCRS: Dynamic compaction resistance sintering. A flash sintering process with a dynamic loading ability

Abstract

Abstract.A homemade powder processing device combining Joule heating and dynamic compaction is presented. This device has been tested at temperatures as high as 1850• C with heating rates up to 1000• C/min. A detailed description of this device is given here followed by mechanical response and thermal validation tests. This highlights the reproducibility of the results on both the thermal and mechanical point of view.
