Sintering is a powder metallurgy process used to create a solid mass of material from metal powder, typically involving heat and pressure. The process begins with a collection of metal powder particles, which are compacted into a desired shape using a press. This compacted shape is then heated to a temperature below the melting point of the major constituent, causing the particles to bond together through a process called diffusion. This diffusion process allows the particles to fuse and form a solid mass. The temperature at which this occurs is known as the sintering temperature, and it varies depending on the material being sintered. Once the sintering process is complete, the resulting material is typically stronger and more durable than the original powder. Sintering is used in a variety of industries, including aerospace, automotive, and electronics, to create complex shapes and components that would be difficult or impossible to produce using traditional manufacturing methods.
