Proportional integral derivative, modeling and ways of stabilization for the spark plasma sintering process

The stability of the proportional–integral–derivative (PID) control of temperature in the spark plasma sintering (SPS) process is investigated. The PID regulations of this process are tested for different SPS tooling dimensions, physical parameters conditions, and areas of temperature control. It is...
