Abstract

While the optimization of sintering rates for any material must be the ultimate objective of sintering studies on that material, little can be achieved in this direction unless some basic knowledge of the predominant mass flow mechanisms exists. A frequently employed experimental means for determining sintering mechanisms in solids has been the measurement of the rate of growth of a neck between two similar bodies during sintering. If these bodies are regular geometric forms (spheres, cylinders, etc.) the mechanisms of material transport responsible for neck growth can be deduced from absolute rate data and the temperature dependence of rate constants.
