2.7.1. SINTERING
Types of sintering (các dạng kết khối)
Sintering: removal of pores between particles
accompanied by shrinkage (densification) and
grain growth.
Types of sintering
Solid-state sintering (SSS)
only in high-purity compounds
Liquid phase sintering (LPS)
<20% liquid; impurities or specific
additives
Viscous glass sintering or viscous
flow (VGS)
Densification of glass powders
Viscous composite sintering or
vitrification (VCS) >20% liquid:
whitewares, porcelains. cement

2.7.1. SINTERING
Driving force (Động lực)
Driving force for sintering: is the reduction in surface
free energy of the consolidated mass of particles. High
energy solid-gas surfaces are replaced by low energy
solid-solid interfaces (grain boundaries).
At microscopic level, the driving force is related to the
difference in surface curvature and consequently of
partial pressure and chemical potential between different
parts of the system.
Effect of particle size: the smaller the particles, the higher the radius of curvature and the
chemical potential → higher sintering rate.

2.7.1. SINTERING
Characteristics of Sintered Ceramics
Typically, ceramics with a small grain size are stronger
than coarse-grained ceramics. Finer grain sizes help
reduce stresses that develop at grain boundaries due to
anisotropic expansion and contraction.
Apparent porosity - The percentage of a ceramic body
that is composed of interconnected porosity.
True porosity - The percentage of a ceramic body that is
composed of both closed and interconnected porosity.
Bulk density - The mass of a ceramic body per unit
volume, including closed and interconnected porosity.

Sintering aims, in general, to produce sintered parts
with consistent and, if possible, designed microstructure
through control of sintering variables.

“It is especially true in the ceramics world that one person’s fault is another
person’s fancy–especially when it comes to glaze defects. Many ceramic artists
deliberately create faults in their glaze surfaces to achieve a particular aesthetic.”
