Abstract

Sintering kinetics and densification of early-stage sintering with simultaneous volume and surface diffusions are treated. Equations for neck growth, the kinetic and Herring’s exponents, and densification are derived using a dimensionless parameter,W. A very pronounced “densification-adhesion” transition is revealed from densification analysis. A densification map is developed.
