SINTERING – METHODS AND PRODUCTS

Sintering refers to the science and technology of production objects from fines or
powders. Being a very complex phenomenon, sintering covers a broad subject field
and combines chemistry, physics and mechanics. Sintering deals with various material
systems such as metals, non-metals, ceramics, polymers, and their combinations.
Processes of sintering may occur in a wide temperature range - in a solid state as well
as with participation of a liquid phase.
