Effect of Powder Characteristics on Nanosintering

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Sintering

Part of the book series: Engineering Materials ((ENG.MAT.,volume 35))

Abstract

If all other things are equal, nanopowders will sinter faster and at lower temperatures than larger powders. However, the increased surface area to volume ratio of these materials presents additional processing challenges that correspond to greater difficulty in achieving the goal of sintering for finer powders. This is not related to the “nano” effects as described in previous chapters, but to powder characteristics that can strongly influence the sintering behavior. These characteristics can be seen as the “real life” parameters, such as agglomeration state and contaminations that if not addressed properly can confuse sintering tendencies and complicate sintering effects at the nanoscale. This chapter presents the effects that may contribute to nanosintering and the importance of adequate processing of nanopowders for achieving optimum sintering behavior.
