SINTERING BEHAVIOR OF LOOSE METAL POWDERS

OSTI ID:4065088
In pressureless compacting, the density of a sintered mass of loose powders depends considerably more on particle size, particle size distribution, and particle activity, than for pressure-compacted powders. Examples are given for spherical and irregular shaped stainless steel powders. The powder composition which results in the greatest apparent density does not necessarily sinter to the highest sintered density. It has been shown that the rate of sintering depends on particle size distribution, as well as on the activity of the particles. (auth)
