2. 1. WC grain growth during sintering of cemented carbides : Experiments and simulations

   Author : Karin Mannesson; John Ågren; Annika Borgenstam; Håkan Engqvist; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Cemented carbide; Grain growth; Abnormal grain growth; Image analysis; Modeling; 3-D grain size distribution; Inverse Saltykov; Materials science; Teknisk materialvetenskap;

   Abstract : Cemented carbides are composite materials consisting of a hard carbide and a ductile binder. They are powdermetallurgically manufactured, where liquid-phase sintering is one of the main steps. The most common cemented carbide consists of WC and Co and it is widely used for cutting tools.

4. 2. Grain growth by Ordered Coalescence of crystallites in Ceramics : Grain Growth Mechanisms, Microstructure Evolution and Sintering

   Author : Jianfeng Hu; Zhijian James Shen; Jekabs Grins; Viveka Alfredsson; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Inorganic Chemistry; oorganisk kemi;

   Abstract : Grain growth and densification process play the two most crucial roles on the microstructure evolution and the achieved performances during sintering of ceramics. In this thesis, the grain growth of SrTiO3, BaTiO3-SrTiO3 solid solutions and Si3N4 ceramics during spark plasma sintering (SPS) were investigated by electron microscopy. READ MORE

5. 3. Spark Plasma Sintering Enhancing Grain Sliding, Deformation and Grain Size Control : Studies of the Systems Ti, Ti/TiB2, Na0.5 K0.5 NbO3, and Hydroxyapatite

   Author : Mirva Eriksson; Zhijian Shen; Takashi Goto; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Spark plasma sintering; plastic deformation; grain growth; titanium; TiB2; hydroxyapatite; Na0.5K0.5NbO3; ferroelectric; transparent; Materials chemistry; Materialkemi; Materials Chemistry; materialkemi;

   Abstract : The unique features of the Spark plasma sintering (SPS) were used to investigate the sintering and deformation behaviour of titanium and titanium–titanium diboride composites, and to control the sintering and grain growth of ferroelectric Na0.5K0.5NbO3 (NKN) and of hydroxyapatite (HAp).

6. 4. Grain Morphology and Intergranular Structure of Si3N4 and Al2O3 Based Ceramics

   Author : Håkan Björklund; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; whiskers; stereology; electron microscopy; sintering; silicon nitride; quantitative microscopy; grain growth; ceramics; microstructure; aluminium oxide;

   Abstract : This thesis concerns factors controlling the grain morphology in Si3N4 and Al2O3 based ceramics. The microstructures of the ceramics were characterized by scanning electron microscopy in combination with quantitative microscopy and stereologic methods. READ MORE

7. 5. Spiral Grain in Norway Spruce

   Author : Harald Säll; Thomas Thörnqvist; Rolf Birkeland; Växjö universitet; []
   Keywords : Spiral grain angle; drying deformation; warp; wood quality; Norway spruce; Picea abies; FORESTRY; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES and LANDSCAPE PLANNING; SKOGS- och JORDBRUKSVETENSKAP samt LANDSKAPSPLANERING;

   Abstract : Wood is a major construction material that is used in many contexts, and for different purposes. Serious problems may arise, however, when moisture related deformations as twist occur in wood used in different types of building structures, joinery and furniture. READ MORE
