A review of in-situ measurement and simulation technologies for ceramic sintering: towards a digital twin sintering system.

Green and intelligent manufacturing has become the key direction of industrial production development. In-situ measuring and sintering simulation technologies play a key role in the modification of ceramic materials and the optimization of the sintering process. These two techniques can significantly alleviate the problems of wasted energy and resources in the ceramics production process, thus promoting the green development of the ceramics industry. Although both techniques have been widely used in the field of ceramic sintering, there is a lack of a comprehensive review of their applications. To better promote the application of these two technologies, this paper provides the first overview of the progress of the application of ceramic sintering in-situ measuring technology and systematically reviews the current research status of ceramic sintering simulation technology. Then it looks forward to the application prospect of these two technologies, synthesizes these two technologies, constructs the framework of digital twin ceramic sintering system for the first time, and analyzes the important role of these two technologies in the digital twin ceramic sintering system.
