A Model for Partial Viscous Sintering [article]

Joel J. Barlow
2018
A mathematical model describing the sintering rate of a viscous material powder bed is presented. This model assumes that the powder bed is composed of cubic packed, equal-size spherical particles. The sintering rate equation is derived in terms of a unit cell dimension or the relative density of a powder bed. A mathematical factor, fraction of sintering, is introduced to explain the phenomena of partial sintering.
