A Walk Through the Powdered Metal Sintering Cycle

In this video you can see the internal processes that take place when powdered metal material is sintered cleanly and efficiently.

very well explained!

[@merrinvarkey4625]

great

Is the copper part of the metal or as a slug that melts in.

[@557_cna]

does sintering always form porosity?
can we reduce the porosity formed?
does the formed porosity in sintering process has significant impact on mechanical properties?
thank you.

[@abhinavharilal5723]

yes we can reduce it

[@abhinavharilal5723]

mechanical strenght decrease with porosity

[@rafaelevangelista6310]

For ceramic tiles, increasing sintering temperature and time decreases the porosity percentage. But I think the material used also influence the structure you'll have and how packed it can be - not to mention the possibility of melting part of the material, which completely fill the pores.
Higher porosity levels decreases the material's strength.
