Sintering

Mainly it can be divided into mainly two types that is 1.solid state Sintering and 2.Liquid phase Sintering. The solid state Sintering occurs when the powder compact is taken in the solid state where as liquid phase sintering occurs when the powder compact is densified in the liquid state. Besides these solid and liquid phase sintering there are other types of sintering such as Transient liquid phase   sintering   and   viscous flow sintering. The sintering process is widely used in the metallurgy process and as well as other ceramic components. Most of the industries use this process as trail and error method that provides less cost and more production. The Sintering process consists of other different types of models such as atomic scale model, Multi scale model including various different types of techniques for the computer   Simulation.
