Master Sintering Curve Formulated from Constitutive Models
The classical master sintering curve (MSC) is derived from empirical sintering model and is applicable over a range of heating rates and temperatures. For simplicity, the MSC approach was modified by assuming one dominant densification mechanism to evaluate and predict densification response. However, the concept of MSC can be extended well beyond the original formulation or the subsequent simplifications. To this effect, generalized formulations are proposed based on several constitutive equations including both grain growth and densification. These formulations can be used very effectively to obtain material properties that in turn can be used in finite-element method to improve the accuracy of the simulations.
