The forming, processing and manufacturing routes such as sintering and 3D printing impart great effects on mechanical, thermal, optical and electronic properties of ceramics. Novel processing and manufacturing methods could lead to not only advanced properties of ceramics, but also massive time and energy saving. Therefore, developing novel processing and manufacturing technologies for ceramics has driven global-wide research in scientific communities and industrial corporations in recent years. In light of these aspects, the aim of this symposium is to discuss advances in processing and manufacturing technologies for a wide variety of ceramics, composites, and related materials.
Proposed sessions and topics of interest:
- Spark plasma sintering, flash sintering, ultra-fast high-temperature sintering
- Cold sintering and energy-efficient densification techniques
- Novel forming technologies, 3D printing, near-net shaping
- Solidification, in situ characterization, structure and simulation
- Joining, integration, and machining technologies
