Product Description: The team has invented and patented an ultrafast high-temperature sintering (UHS) process that can achieve record-high temperatures of up to 3,000 ℃ and ultrafast heating rates of up to 100,000 ℃/minute via radiative heating. The UHS method can directly sinter oxide precursors into solid, dense ceramics in just seconds.
