Abstract

Sintering is a critical process in powder metallurgy that transforms compacted powders into solid parts through heat treatment. This article provides an in-depth examination of various sintering techniques, including traditional and advanced methods, their mechanisms, and the materials involved. We discuss the effects of sintering parameters on the properties of sintered components, as well as the applications across different industries. The discussion highlights current trends, challenges, and future directions in sintering technology, emphasizing its significance in producing high-performance materials
