SPS is a typical field-assisted sintering technique that can achieve fully dense pressed billets using low processing temperatures and short sintering times. SPS furnaces can densify ceramics in minutes, whereas hot pressing and pressureless sintering require several hours to achieve the same sintering density.

Removing air from the environment during the hardening process usually leads to better, more predictable results. In a vacuum hardening process, the heat treatment of the metal is performed in a vacuum.

Stainless steel parts represent a large part of the sintered parts market and they rely on sintering to transform porous, fragile parts into strong, fully dense parts with a wide range of applications such as automotive, biomedical industry, machinery and fashion. In this article, we will discuss how to choose a sintering atmosphere.

The powder sintering process is formed by coupling surface diffusion, viscous flow, evaporative coalescence, bulk diffusion and grain boundary diffusion. We break down here to understand the process flow about metal powder sintering.

Did you know that ceramic materials need to be put into a furnace for heating when they are produced? We refer to this process as sintering. After sintering, the ceramic material will have a firm shape and a fine surface. The sintering process plays an important role in the manufacture of metals, ceramics and nanomaterials.

Sintering is the process of heating a powder to a certain temperature and holding it for a certain time, then cooling the material to obtain a product with the desired properties. The entire process of special heat treatment is called sintering.
