Microstructural Development and Evolution during Liquid Phase Sintering.

Abstract

Microstructural development and evolution during the liquid phase sintering process has been studied in terms of thermodynamic, kinetic and structural features. Solid phase contiguity primarily depends on solid volume fraction. Microstructural scale is adversely affected by contiguity since, under this condition, coarsening is accelerated by particle coalescence. It is found that contiguity can be expressed as a single function of particle volume fraction and microstructural scale can be adequately related to system parameters as well as particle volume fraction.
