Overview

As a high-performance material, the performance of advanced ceramics depends not only on the forming process, but also on the sintering process, which is an indispensable and key step. Sintering is the process of densifying the ceramic body by heating to form a material with a specific microstructure and performance. There are many sintering methods, among which Pressureless Sintering (PLS) is suitable for most conventional ceramic materials, such as structural ceramics such as alumina (Al₂O₃) and zirconia (ZrO₂).
