This paper reports compacts prepared from three differently agglomerated powders studied. Hg-penetration results and SEM observations were employed to compare the uniformity of powder compacts and to investigate the pore-size evolution and the microstructural development during sintering. It was found that the more nonuniform the powder compact, the higher the degree of pore growth in the initial and at the beginning of intermediate stages of sintering. Moreover, a higher sintering temperature and a nonuniform microstructure with larger grains could not be avoided.
