Cold Sintering: A New Sintering Technology for Advanced Ceramic Materials

Ceramic sintering is the process of solidifying ceramic powder into a dense bulk material through the migration of matter, which is the necessary path for the body to transform into a high-strength, dense ceramic body. Low-temperature sintering technology introduces electric fields, solvents, pressure, etc., to change the thermodynamic and kinetic conditions of sintering, which has been widely studied by global scholars since the twentieth century. Currently, there are common sintering processes such as cold sintering, dielectric barrier discharge plasma sintering, hot isostatic pressing sintering, flash sintering, and microwave sintering. Among them, cold sintering has gained widespread attention due to its advantages of simple equipment, convenient operation, and low sintering temperature. Copyright belongs to the author.
