WHAT IS FIELD-ASSISTED SINTERING TECHNOLOGY (FAST)?
Field-assisted sintering technology (FAST) is an advanced sintering technology that uses high current to rapidly heat conductive tool components and materials under simultaneous uniaxial pressure inside a vacuum chamber.
- It is also known as:
- Plasma-assisted sintering （PAS）
- Pulsed electric current sintering (PECS)
- Electrosolidation is also known as electric pulse assisted consolidation (EPAC)
- Spark plasma sintering (SPS)
TECHNICAL ADVANTAGES
Advanced Sintering Technology, High Material Performance
Compared with pressureless sintering, hot pressing sintering and some other traditional sintering technologies, field-assisted sintering technology (FAST) has low sintering temperature and short duration. The growth of grains is greatly suppressed, and the performance of the material is significantly improved.
Fast Sintering Speed
As a series of new material sintering methods, field-assisted sintering technology (FAST) can directly heat tools and components through DC current pulses, thereby shortening the cycle time to a few minutes.
Fully Functional and Affordable
Compared with SPS (spark plasma sintering), FAST/DCS sintering furnace does not use expensive pulse power supplies, so it is low-cost and has the advantages of fast sintering speed and high sample density.
Wide range of processing objects
FAST/DCS sintering furnace is the most powerful tool for sintering advanced materials such as special ceramic materials, nano-ceramic materials, gradient functional materials, thermoelectric materials, rare earth permanent magnet materials, metal slope glass non-equilibrium materials, etc. It is an ideal choice for new material research and development.
