Kinetics and Mechanisms of Densification

Abstract

This chapter discusses the kinetics and mechanisms of densification in solid-state, liquid-phase, and pressure-assisted sintering. Theoretical approaches used to analyze the densification process are outlined, and their limitations for describing the sintering of real powder systems are discussed. the effects of key material and sintering parameters not commonly taken into account in the idealized models, such as particle packing, particle and pore shape anisotropy, gaseous atmosphere, and non-isothermal sintering, are described.
