Unveiling the Power of Field-Assisted Sintering

In the rapidly evolving landscape of material science, the demand for advanced materials with superior properties has never been higher. California Nanotechnologies (CalNano), an industry leader, is at the forefront of this revolution, providing cutting-edge field-assisted sintering services that are transforming the way materials are developed and processed.

The Science Behind Field-Assisted Sintering

Field-assisted sintering, also known as Spark Plasma Sintering (SPS), is an advanced sintering technique designed to produce high-performance materials efficiently. This process stands out due to its ability to achieve rapid heating and cooling rates, leading to the densification of materials at relatively low temperatures. The technique involves passing a pulsed electric current directly through a powder compact, which, when combined with uniaxial pressure, facilitates a faster and more efficient sintering process compared to traditional methods.
