                                number of grains
Densification
• Favoured by small number of grain
  boundaries intersecting pore
• Large pores with many grains difficult to fill
Sintering Kinetics
• Densification vs Coarsening
• Coarsening
  – Material source surface
  – Material sink neck
  – No shrinkage
  – Increase in strength
• Densification
  – Source of material has to be grain boundary
    or region between particles
Coarsening
• Surface diffusion
• Evaporation Condensation Mechanism
Densification
• Higher vacancy concentration in the neck
  ----driving force for vacancy diffusion into
  the bulk----atoms diffuse in opposite
  direction
Sintering
• Promote Densification over Coarsening
  – High GB diffusion
  – High bulk diffusion
  – Low surface diffusion
• Depends on
  –   Particle size and packing
  –   Atmosphere
  –   Degree of Agglomeration
  –   Temperature
  –   Impurities
Sintering Stages
• Initial Stage
  – Interparticle contact increases by neck growth
  – Relative density increases from~60 to ~65%
• Intermediate Stage
  – Continuous pore channels coincident with
    three grain edges
  – Increase from ~65 to ~90% density
Sintering Stages
• Final Stage
  – Pore pinched off
  – Increase in pore and GB mobilities
  – Must keep pores in contact with grain
    boundaries to eliminate pores completely.
What Have We Learned
• Surface Energy Driving Force
  – Particle Growth
  – Sintering
• Balance Between Coarsening and
  Densification
  – Depends on mechanism
  – Role of Dihedral angle
  – Coordination number of pores
What Have We Learned
• Three Stages of Sintering
What Next?
• Models of Sintering
• Liquid Versus Solid State
