Study on appropriate and modified conditions for flash sintering process by simulation modeling

Flash sintering is one of the newest technique for sintering ceramics to near full density. Itoccurs in an appropriate combination of temperature and electric field. The temperaturemeasurement is one of the most serious challenges in this process. In present study we tryto model a flash sintering process of ۸YSZ and ۳YSZ with finite element method so thatmake an assessment for temperature distribution and also estimate the critical values oftemperature and electric field intensity. Results indicate that the correlation betweenfurnace temperature and electric field intensity and also uniformity of current passagethrough the sample are observable by simulation modeling
