    Sintering Under High Heating Rates
    (Annual Reviews, 2025) Karacasulu, Levent; Maniere, Charles; Vakifahmetoglu, Cekdar; Marinel, Sylvain; Biesuz, Mattia
    Rapid sintering using a high heating rate is growing in technological and scientific interest. This is motivated by the promise of reducing the carbon footprint of sintering and developing materials with properties and microstructures different from those achievable by conventional heating. For instance, rapid heating can induce suppression of grain growth, the possibility of obtaining modified space charges and elemental segregations, and the development of out-of-equilibrium materials. Severe challenges still exist for the industrial exploitation of rapid sintering technologies, and, nowadays, only fast firing can be considered mature. Most of these limitations are related to the homogeneity of the sample and the possibility of obtaining complex shapes. This review investigates developments in rapid sintering by comparing different processes, suggested mechanisms, and future challenges.

    Fast Firing Technique for Martian Regolith Simulant: Advancing Isru Capabilities
    (Academic Press inc Elsevier Science, 2025) Karacasulu, Levent; Tomasini, Alessandro; Vakifahmetoglu, Cekdar; Biesuz, Mattia
    In-Situ Resource Utilization (ISRU) approaches hold significant importance in plans for space colonization. This work explores a different ISRU concept applying fast-firing, a robust and well-known industrial process, to Mars regolith simulant (MGS-1). The fast-fired specimens were compared to the ones obtained by conventional sintered under low heating rates. When the holding time at the firing temperature is longer than 15 min, fast-fired specimens exhibited higher density and flexural strength (> 35 MPa) than conventional sintering. For both processes, the bulk density values and the mechanical properties of the regolith compacts were enhanced with increasing dwell time. This was attributed to higher heating rates changing the densification/crystallization kinetics involving the basalt glass in the regolith composition. Specifically, high heating rate promotes sintering over crystallization. On these bases, fast firing can be considered a potential candidate for ISRU on Mars.
