Sintering or frittage is the process of compacting and forming a solid mass of material by pressure [1] or heat [2] without melting it to the point of liquefaction. Sintering happens as part of a manufacturing process used with metals, ceramics, plastics, and other materials. The atoms/molecules in the sintered material diffuse across the ...
Pressureless sintering is another method for processing and densifying UHTCs. Pressureless sintering involves heating powdered materials in a mold in order to promote atomic diffusion and create a solid material. Compacts are prepared by uniaxial die compaction, and then the compacts are fired at chosen temperatures in a controlled atmosphere.
Hexoloy is a registered trademark for a pressureless sintered form of alpha silicon carbide. Hexoloy SA is made by sintering silicon carbide powder. This process bonds the powder together to create a self-bonded product which is extremely hard and lightweight. It has a high resistance to corrosion, erosion, high temperature and thermal shock.
Densification of consolidated powder bodies continues to be achieved predominantly by (pressureless) sintering. However, the use of pressure sintering by hot pressing is increasing, especially for non-oxides and parts of simple shapes where higher quality (mainly microstructural homogeneity) is needed, and larger size or multiple parts per ...

Then the shaped form is densified, typically by pressureless sintering or hot isostatic pressing. Abnormal grain growth has been extensively reported for SiAlON ceramics, and results in a bimodal grain size distribution of the sintered material. The sintered part may then need to be machined by diamond grinding (abrasive cutting). [3]
The DOE implemented efficiency regulations to prohibit new non-condensing gas furnaces by 2028, by requiring that non-weatherized gas furnaces achieve an annual fuel utilization efficiency of 95%.
Sintering of ZrB 2 is hindered by the material's covalent nature and presence of surface oxides which increase grain coarsening before densification during sintering. Pressureless sintering of ZrB 2 is possible with sintering additives such as boron carbide and carbon which react with the surface oxides to increase the driving force for ...
