Abstract
In view of the recognised difficulties associated with the identification of atomic mechanisms during the microstructural development of ceramics, a technique has been developed which allows estimation of the relative rates of densification and coarsening (grain growth) in a sintering compact The results of applying the method to two silicon nitride powders are given and the possible benefits of the method discussed.
