A Versatile Software for Construction of the Master Sintering Curve

Article Preview

Abstract:

Several models have been developed over the last years to study the microstructure development of ceramic and metal powders during sintering. Among the most utilized methodology one may find the Arrhenius and the so-called Master Sintering Curve (MSC). Both models involve manipulation of a large number of data, and repetitive and time-consuming calculations. In this work, was developed a versatile and friendly-user software for a PC-type computer encompassing both methodologies. The software is flexible allowing for kinetic data evaluation such as the activation energy for sintering and sintering maps. Details of the software along with its application to investigate the sintering process of 10 mol% gadolinia-doped ceria are described.
