Abstract
This chapter introduces the basics of resistance sintering, which was an important step in the historical development of electric current-assisted sintering methods. Resistance sintering utilizes heat generated within the powder charge carrying a direct electric current or an alternating current of low frequency and is assisted by pressure when the initial state of the sample is a loose powder. As there is no heat coming from the die, only conductive materials can be sintered by resistance sintering. The die/plunger assemblies used for resistance sintering are described. The issue of temperature distribution within the sample during resistance sintering is discussed based on experiments and modeling.
