It is the process of bonding powder particles into a solid component using heat (without melting). Temp: 1200-2200°C Shrinkage: 15-25% Density: 60% → 99% What does sintering mean? Sintering process easily explained Simeko AG Video: The ceramic sintering process explained. Continue. Sintering is a critical manufacturing step in the production of technical ceramics. Technical ceramics have become essential in high-performance industries such as aerospace. After the initial molding of the ceramic, whether by slip casting or dry pressing, it is still necessary to densify the compacted powder samples (green bodies) to form a continuous 3D structure and thus to get ceramic pieces appropriate for the selected application.
