Introduction
Sintering is a captivating materials processing technique that allows us to transform loose particles into a cohesive solid body. It entails heating the particles below their melting points, allowing them to form new bonds and consolidate into a dense, porous structure.
Sintering plays a critical role in various industries, including ceramics, metallurgy, and electronics. It enables the production of high-performance materials with tailored properties, such as increased strength, durability, and thermal conductivity.
