Defects produced during selective laser sintering (SLS) are difficult to non-destructively detect after build completion without the use of X-ray-based methods. Overcoming this issue by assessing ...

Silicon nitride ceramics are widely used in structural applications because they have low density yet are very tough. Their damage tolerance is based upon an interlocking microstructure of elongated ...

A novel ultra-fast high-temperature pre-sintering (UHS) followed by conventional pressureless sintering (CS) strategy was employed for the first time to prepare transparent AlON ceramics. The prepared ...

Scientists have reinvented a 26,000-year-old manufacturing process into an innovative approach to fabricating ceramic materials that has promising applications for solid-state batteries, fuel cells, ...
