Abstract
The sintering is a key process which governs the quality of the obtained microstructures and the final material properties.This control can be done through the optimization
of the sintering trajectory. In this aim we develop an analytic model able to predict the densification grain growth kinetic to model the sintering response of different conventional
sintering cycles. Advanced sintering approaches like flash sintering applied to Spark Plasma Sintering or Microwave sintering has also an interesting potential
to control the microstructures1 and tune the physical properties. The high Multiphysics nature of these processes requires a comprehensive simulation tool playing
an important role in these processes control.
