The initial stage of sintering is characterised by

  • A.rapid growth of the grains themselves
  • B.neck formation between adjacent particles
  • C.the complete elimination of all porosity
  • D.isolated spherical pores at grain corners

Answer: B

Correct answer: neck formation between adjacent particles

The initial stage is the growth of necks at the points where particles touch, driven by the very high curvature there. Densification in this stage is modest, typically a few per cent, and the particle identities are still distinct. Isolated spherical pores at grain corners belong to the final stage, and a continuous cylindrical pore network to the intermediate one.
