Sintering - Densification, Grain Growth, and Microstructure

Sintering is the process of forming materials and components from a powder under the action of thermal energy. It is a key materials science subject; most ceramic materials and many specialist metal powder products for use in key industries such as electronics, automotive and aerospace are formed th...
