On the simulation of spark plasma sintered TiB2 ultra high temperature ceramics: A numerical approach

A review on the Comsol Multiphysics studies of heat transfer in advanced ceramics

“…9). The same simulation was performed for TiC [58] and TiB 2 [59]. The results showed that for samples with higher thermal conductivities, a more uniform temperature distribution could be obtained, which has a direct effect on the microstructure of the as-sintered sample.…”

Thermal conductivity, viscosity and heat transfer process in nanofluids: A critical review

“…Also, there are other factors such as viscosity that are critically related to the pumping power of nanofluid. Although there are a lot of experimental studies of the nanofluids behavior, numerical methods are still a strong tool to obtain detailed information about the investigated phenomenon and have wide applications in heat and mass transfer, biomechanics, and solid mechanics [36,37,46,[38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45].…”

High‐strength TiB2‐B4C composite ceramics sintered by spark plasma sintering

“…More and more researchers pay attention to TiB 2 due to its many outstanding properties, such as high melting point (3225 • C), high hardness (∼32 GPa), relatively low density (4.52 g/cm 3 ), good electrical and thermal conductivity, excellent chemical stability, high elasticity modulus (529 GPa), and good abrasion resistance. Based on its excellent performance, it has been used for a wide range of applications in cutting tools, impact-resistant armor, wear-resistant parts, conductive coatings, hightemperature structural parts, and crucibles, et al [1][2][3][4][5][6] However, its high melting point, low self-diffusion coefficient, and strong covalent bond make it difficult to obtain high density bulk ceramic material, which greatly restricts its widespread application. [7][8][9][10][11] What's worse, the presence of oxide layer (mainly TiO 2 and B 2 O 3 ) covered on TiB 2 powders surface is also a crucial reason for investigators to sinter dense monolithic TiB 2 ceramic.…”
