Does plasma jet sintering follow an Arrhenius-type expression?
Abstract
Abstract Atmospheric pressure, ambient temperature plasma jets have become a promising candidate for material processing in parallel with developments in additive manufacturing. Recent work has shown that plasma jets can be used to sinter printed nanoparticles at temperatures much lower than typically required for conventional thermal sintering. Here, we conduct a mechanistic study on plasma jet sintering that correlates specific energy input with the electrical conductivity of printed silver films after sintering. Increasing the specific energy input accelerated the sintering process following an Arrhenius‐like exponential trend across a large range of conditions, including both helium and argon plasma jets. Although an exponential relationship is also found with the plasma heated substrate temperature, independent studies indicate that heating is not the primary mechanism. These results suggest there is a general behavior that couples the plasma jet with the surface.
