The Francis College of Engineering, Department of Mechanical Engineering, invites you to attend a Master's Thesis defense by Joseph Duval on: "Large Scale Additive Manufacturing of Ceramics." ...

Ordinarily, when ceramic items are manufactured, the raw material has to be fired in a kiln at temperatures exceeding 1,000 ºC (1,832 ºF). Needless to say, it's a very energy-intensive process. Now, ...

Study using VPP to form SiC with sintering aids, achieving sub‑2000°C densification and improved microstructure.

Engineers at Purdue University are using flash sintering to improve the plasticity of ceramics, an advance that could allow ceramics to sustain heavy loads and high temperatures without experiencing ...
