and diffusion bond materials. In general, the ability to utilise lower processing temperatures and/or shorter processing times allows the production of unique properties compared to conventional ...

The real objects of desire though are unlikely to grace the average hackspace. Selective Laser Sintering 3D printers use a laser on a bed of powder to solidify a 3D object layer by layer.

To overcome this challenge, Sun and his team used a technique known as cold sintering — a process where powdered materials are heated, treated with a liquid solvent, and compressed into a denser form ...

The samples are prepared by a sintering technique which is described ... The author claims that the rate of diffusion of carbon in α-iron is very much higher than that in the γ-modification ...
