Sintering or frittage is the process of compacting and forming a solid mass of material by heat or pressure without melting it to the point of liquefaction.

The sintering densification process also results in an increase in the elastic modulus of the porous ceramic coating at high temperatures.
In addition isothermal shrinkage measurements have been performed to examine the densification kinetic parameter.

Depending upon the actual temperatures and stresses experienced by the coating a significant elastic modulus gradient will develop and evolve with time under high heat flux conditions.
Usually this is done by a sintering process which is a consolidation and densification step of the granular compact through the action of heat.
High entropy boride ceramics of zr 0 2 ta 0 2 ti 0 2 nb 0 2 hf 0 2 b 2 and zr 0 2 w 0 2 ti 0 2 mo 0 2 hf 0 2 b 2 were prepared by combining powder synthesis via borothermal reduction process at 1600 c and subsequent ceramic densification by spark plasma sintering at 2000 c in argon.
The driving force of sintering process is reduction of surface energy of the particles caused by decreasing their vapour solid interfaces.
During the diffusion process the pores taking place in the green compact diminish or even close up resulting in densification of the part improvement of its mechanical properties.
Unlike traditional ceramics however advanced powders are not bonded by the particle dissolving action of glassy liquids that appear at high temperatures.
Sintering happens naturally in mineral deposits or as a manufacturing process used with metals ceramics plastics and other materials the atoms in the materials diffuse across the boundaries of the particles fusing the particles.
High entropy diboride powdered products exhibited ultra fine particle size 0 5 μm after borothermal.
Instead solid state sintering predominates.
The liquid phase sintering process of α sialon ceramics has been investigated by high temperature dilatometry and microstructural observation.
Firing also known as sintering or densification the ceramics pass through a controlled heat process where the oxides are consolidated into a dense cohesive body made up of uniform grain.
During this stage the microstructure of the samples evolves see figure 1.
Some general points to remember about different types of firing end products.
