DEFINITION
• Sintering commonly refers to processes involved
in the heat treatment of powder compacts at
elevated temperatures, where diffusional mass
transport is appreciable.
• Successful sintering usually results in a dense
polycrystalline solid. However, sintering can
proceed only locally (i.e. at contact point of
grains), without any appreciable change in the
average overall density of a powder compact.
SINTERING
A MODEL SKETCH
BASIC THERMODYNAMICS OF
SINTERING
• Elimination of porosity
• Grain growth
FINAL STAGE (contd.)
• The final sintering stage begins at about 93-95%
of theoretical density, when porosity is already
isolated.

Process variables.
MATERIAL VARIABLES
• The variables related to raw materials are said
as material variables.
• These include chemical composition of powder
compact, powder size, powder shape, powder
size distribution, degree of powder
agglomeration, etc.
• These variables influence the powder
compressibility and sinterability (densification
and grain growth).
