IMPROVEMENTS IN SINTERING PROCESS
A method of sintering uncompacted sinterable powders to produce a sintered object is described. The method consists of filling the powder into a mold having a core. The core has a melting point above the pre-sintering temperature of the powder and below the sintering temperature of the powder. The powder is heated in the mold at the presintering temperature until the powder has sufficient cohesion to maintain its shape when unsupported. The temperature is raised above the melting point of the core and the molten core is removed from the mold. The powder is heated at a sintering temperature above the pre- sintering temperature to form the sintered object. The core defines the bore of the tube. The material may be beryllium powder. (N.W.R.)
