Sintering is a manufacturing process used to create solid objects by compacting and heating powdered materials below their melting point.
This process leads to the bonding of particles through atomic diffusion, resulting in a dense, strong, and monolithic structure.
5 Key Steps Explained
1. Formation of Powder
The raw material, often in the form of a powder, is initially formed into a specific shape.
2. Compaction
The powder is then compacted using pressure to ensure uniformity and eliminate voids.
3. Heating
The compacted material is heated in a controlled environment, typically in a sintering furnace.
The temperature is maintained below the melting point of the material to avoid melting.
4. Particle Bonding
During heating, atoms diffuse across particle boundaries, leading to the formation of necks between particles and overall densification.
5. Cooling
The sintered product is cooled, solidifying it into a rigid and cohesive structure.
