Too good to be true Low temp sintering
This paper promises low temperature sintering of silicon carbide, a material that traditionally requires extreme conditions to sinter. Is this really sintering, or something else CONSIDER SUBSCRIBING Buy me a coffee Or Patreon if that s your jam: Twitter: Discord: Details Kalemtas, Ayse, et al. Starch consolidation of SiC ceramics: Processing and lowtemperature sintering in an air Journal of Asian Ceramic Societies 8. 1 (2020): 106115. Silicon Carbide is a wonderful material: hard, chemically inert, semiconducting and extreme temperature resistance. That also makes it very difficult to work with, require temperatures in excess of 2000 degrees celsius to sinter. This paper promises lowtemperature sintering (600C) using a silicate glass fluxing agent to reduce the temp
