A Comprehensive Model for Solid State Sintering and Its Application to Silicon Carbide

  • Chapter
Multiscale Deformation and Fracture in Materials and Structures

Part of the book series: Solid Mechanics and Its Applications ((SMIA,volume 84))

Abstract

Previous models for partial aspects of solid state sintering and grain coarsening are combined to give a comprehensive model consisting of a set of equations. A series of sinter forging tests with a SiC powder is carried out, and the model is successfully adjusted to the experimental results. The resulting activation energy for bulk diffusion is substantially higher than activation energies reported in the literature.
