Summary
Sintering is one of the most practical manufacturing processes in producing density-controlled materials from powder feedstock. However, producing industrially applicable powder alloy precursors is challenging. Although pre-mixing pure metal powders have allowed a wide range of compositions by conventional sintering, rapid heating and cooling in modern sintering techniques inevitably results in new but unwanted chemical gradients, as well as microstructural and property anisotropy. This Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) award will investigate a high-power impulse magnetron sputtering p
