Powder Metallurgy-Sintering


Sintering is the process whereby green compacts are heated in a controlled-atmosphere furnace to a temperature below the melting point, but sufficiently high to allow bonding (fusion) of the individual particles. It is the process by which solid bodies are bonded by atomic forces. In other words, in sintering the particles are fused together to increase density.
