Sintering: Technology and Products

Sintering is an intricate phenomenon, commonly defined as the process of producing an object from fines or powders. This process is considered to be complex since it involves heterogeneous material systems, and extreme diversity in temperature and physical state. Sintering has numerous dimensions to research upon, since it requires a broad spectrum of knowledge varying from thermodynamics to fluid dynamics, from solid state physics to kinetics of chemical reactions. Sintering being a material processing method, utilizes various technologies to produce distinct products. This book brings together researches from various domains of sintering into a single reference source. It will be helpful for researchers, scientists and students interested in this field.
