Simulation of the Effect of Sintering Pressure on Microstructure Evolution in Nanocomposite Ceramic Tool Materials

Article Preview

Abstract:

A Monte Carlo Potts model coupled with sintering pressure for the sintering process of nanocomposite ceramic tool materials is proposed, the relation between grain growth and sintering pressure is presented. The grain growth process at different sintering pressure is investigated in this model, and the effect of sintering pressure on microstructure evolution is discussed, it is found that the mean grain size increases with the increase of sintering pressure during simulation. The results from this simulation are shown to correlate well with the experimental observations.
