Atomic Structure Changes During Sintering: What You Need to Know

Atomic Structure Changes During Sintering: What You Need to Know

Sintering is a critical process in materials science, involving the transformation of powder into a solid mass through heat and pressure. During this process, atomic structures undergo significant changes, including diffusion, recrystallization, and grain growth. Understanding these atomic-level alterations is essential for optimizing material properties and enhancing performance. In this post, we’ll explore how these changes impact the final product and what you need to know to achieve desired outcomes in your sintering processes.

How to Measure Relative Porosity Accurately

How to Measure Relative Porosity Accurately

Measuring relative porosity accurately is crucial for understanding fluid storage in materials. Begin by carefully selecting your sample, ensuring uniformity. Utilize the water displacement method for a straightforward assessment: submerge the sample in water and note the volume displaced. For precision, also consider using advanced techniques like nitrogen adsorption or X-ray tomography. Remember to account for any trapped air to ensure reliable results. Regular calibration of your measuring tools is also essential for accuracy.
