Thermodynamic modeling of sintering and corrosion processes

Through „Thermodynamic Modeling “ predictions about correlations between materials and components with the Sintering Atmosphere and Phase Building during a thermal process are possible. The effect of interfacial reactions and corrosion effects under different requirements can also be estimated. On the base of thermodynamic calculations and the underlying models, for example strategies for optimal sintering regimes, for gradient materials or for corrosion-proof materials are inducible. Corresponding experiences exist especially for ceramic materials, borides and carbides.
