Sintering joins particles into a coherent solid by heating, sometimes with applied pressure, without completely melting the material. It is used to consolidate powders of ceramics and metals.
Consolidation of a powder under simultaneous heating and applied pressure. Phase formation, density and connected porosity must be checked separately.
Consolidation under approximately equal applied pressure in all directions at elevated temperature. In waste treatment it can produce a dense ceramic inside a containment can.

Sintering is a manufacturing process used to create solid materials from powders through the application of heat and (often) pressure. The main objectives of sintering are to increase the density and strength of the material by promoting particle bonding, which occurs without melting the primary constituent materials. ### Key Features of Sintering: 1. **Process Steps**: - **Powder Preparation**: Fine particles are prepared, often through milling or other methods to achieve the desired particle size and characteristics.
