Developments in Sintering Process: Sinter-HIP

Remzi Varol

Sintering process is known as compacting and forming a powder material by heat and pressure and resulting on a high relative density and superior mechanical and physical properties. Parallel to technological developments, relative density values near to 100% are reached in atmosphere controlled sintering furnaces. The sintering process applied for the manufacture of P/M parts close to 100% relative density has three stages and the steps applied are briefly as follows,
