Leading the Way in Field Assisted Sintering for All Industries

California Nanotechnologies, a forefront innovator in advanced material processing, proudly offers state-of-the-art Field Assisted Sintering Technology (FAST) solutions, also known as Spark Plasma Sintering (SPS) or Pulsed Electric Current Sintering (PECS). This cutting-edge technique positions California Nanotechnologies as a premier provider of sintering services, catering to diverse industries such as aerospace, automotive, electronics, and biomedical.

The Science Behind Field Assisted Sintering

Field Assisted Sintering is a revolutionary method for consolidating powder materials into dense, solid forms. Unlike traditional sintering methods, FAST uses a uniaxial pressure combined with a pulsed electric current that is applied directly through a conductive die and the powder material. This dual-action approach results in rapid heating and efficient sintering at significantly lower temperatures.

Key Features of FAST:

1. Rapid Heating: By utilizing pulsed electric currents, FAST achieves heating rates of up to thousands of degrees Celsius per minute, substantially faster than conventional methods.
2. Lower Sintering Temperatures: The combination of electric current and pressure enables densification at lower temperatures, reducing thermal stress on materials.
3. Short Sintering Times: The entire process often completes within minutes, preserving the fine microstructure of the material and reducing grain growth.
4. Enhanced Material Properties: FAST produces materials with superior mechanical and physical properties, including higher density, finer grain size, and improved uniformity.
5. Versatility: The technique is suitable for a wide range of materials, including metals, ceramics, composites, and functionally graded materials.
6. Energy Efficiency: Direct heating and shorter processing times make FAST an energy-efficient solution.
