E .SIVANAGI REDDY12ACPA02
OUTLINE 0F THE TALK
• Ceramics• Sintering• Types of sintering• Process of sintering• Consequence of sintering• Rate controlled sintering• Summary
ceramics
• A ceramic is an inorganic, non-metallic solid prepared by the action of heat and subsequent cooling
• Ceramics that with minor exceptions have been developed with in the last 50 years or so are called advanced ceramics.
• Advanced ceramics include ceramics for electrical, magnetic, electronic, and optical applications
Sintering
• Sintering is the process by which a powder compact is transformed to a strong, dense ceramic body upon heating.
• Sintering could eliminate most pores in porous green body and compress residual pores, and bring grain growth and improve binding among grains
• Driving force for sintering: Lowering of free energyI. The curvature of particle surface II. An extremely applied pressureIII. Chemical reaction
Stages of Sintering Three stages: 1. Initial stage :2. Intermediate Stage :3. Final stage:
• Temperature• Time duration• Green density• Uniformity of green density• Atmosphere• Impurities• Size distribution• Particle size

Rate-Controlled SinteringRate – controlled sintering is done in two waysI. controlling Heating rateII. controlling temperature

Summary
• Sintering is the process by which a powder compact is transformed to a strong, dense ceramic body upon heating
• The driving force behind sintering is lowering of free energy.
• Three stages of sintering depends of different parameters.
• Rate controlled sintering basically done in Temperature and heating rate controlling methods.
