Modern blast furnaces with extensive operational volume demand better-quality iron agglomerates as feed for stable operation. Sinter is the principal feed used in blast furnaces across Asia. Liquid generated during the sintering process plays an esse...
The dissipated electric power in oxide powder compacts, subjected to flash sintering, is several hundreds of W·cm−3. This power is analyzed considering local softening/melting and transient plasma/liquid formation at the particle contacts due to ther...
Low tensile strength (brittleness) is a significant drawback of lightweight aggregate concrete, as it significantly limits its application. The parameters can be improved by using dispersed reinforcement. For the purpose of the study, two fractions o...
