Millisecond photonic sintering of iron oxide doped alumina ceramic coatings

Abstract The sintering of alumina (Al2O3) traditionally occurs at high temperatures (up to ca. 1700 °C) and in significantly long times (up to several hours), which are required for the consolidation of the material by diffusion processes. Here we investigate the photonic sintering of alumina partic...
