Numerical Simulation of the Temperature and Stress Field Evolution Applied to the Field Assisted Sintering Technique
Figure 1
(a) The field assisted sintering technique (FAST) in this study utilizes a tool assembly composed of specialized graphite composite (R7710 [21]). (b) A schematic of the FAST geometry, illustrating the placement of the Al2O3 sample and the centrally located hole(s) for the placement of a thermocouple.
