Modeling and Simulation of Grain Growth of Ceramic Material in Sintering Process

Abstract:

The grain growth in the sintering process of ceramic materials has an important impact on the ceramic materials performance. In this paper, a grain growth simulation model considering the requirement of heat and space is established. The Al2O3-based ceramic materials are preparation, and the model is verified by the Al2O3-based ceramic materials. The simulated results of the grain growth by the model are very close to the grain growth of Al2O3-based ceramic materials. The model can be used in the study of grain growth in ceramic materials sintering process.
