When sufficient sintering has taken place, the ceramic body will no longer break down in water; additional sintering can reduce the porosity of the ceramic, increase the bond area between ceramic particles, and increase the material strength. [5] Industrial procedures to create ceramic objects via sintering of powders generally include: [6]
Compaction of ceramic powders is a forming technique for ceramics in which granular ceramic materials are made cohesive through mechanical densification, either by hot or cold pressing. The resulting green part must later be sintered in a kiln. The compaction process permits an efficient production of parts to close tolerances with low drying ...
Historically, liquid phase sintering was used to process ceramic materials like clay bricks, earthenware, and porcelain.Modern liquid phase sintering was first applied in the 1930s to materials like cemented carbides (e.g. WC-Co) for cutting tools, porous brass (Cu-Sn) for oil-less bearings, and tungsten-heavy alloys (W-Ni-Cu), but now finds applications ranging from superalloys to dental ...

Ceramic engineering is the science and technology of creating objects from inorganic, non-metallic materials. This is done either ...
Sintering is a common practice used widely with both metals and ceramic materials. Sintering is a direct application of capillary condensation, because of the adhesion effects of dust and powders. This application can be seen directly in sol-gel thin film synthesis. [ 7 ]
Sintering metal-diamond compounds with direct hot presses goes back to the 1950s since when it is commonly practised in the diamond tool industry.

He contributed greatly to methods for processing ceramics, particularly sintering, a method for creating objects out of powders by heating them until they bond. [5] He wrote a series of books on ceramics, culminating in Introduction to Ceramics, a book that became the "founding treatise" for ceramics. [6] Kingery became a full professor in 1962.
Porous ceramic membranes are typically manufactured through a slip coating-sintering process. In this process a support is initially made by sintering particles of a ceramic material into a mold with a binding agent. The surface of this support is then coated in a solution of finer ceramic particles and a polymeric binder.
