What effect/how much effect will be there on grain growth when the size of raw materials decreases from 150 microns to 45 microns? Any referred research paper?
Driving force for sintering increases as the particle size is decrease since the specific surface energy increases with decreasing particle size and this function being very significant at the nanometer scale. You can find in my paper below an application for modeling expressed in the following published works by Z.Z. Fang etal.
