A faster FAST: Electro-Sinter-Forging

Abstract

A novel sintering technology based on high density electric currents and sintering cycles shorter than a second is presented. Data will be shown that compare it to Hot Pressing and Spark Plasma Sintering and to conventional Press and Sinter. Considerations will be made on the materials, the physical and mechanical characteristics of the objects produced, on the range of present and future products, on the tooling and on the productivity.
