The intermediate stage of sintering features

  • A.no measurable densification occurring at all
  • B.loose particles that are in point contact only
  • C.a continuous network of cylindrical pores
  • D.isolated pores sitting at four-grain corners

Answer: C

Correct answer: a continuous network of cylindrical pores

By the intermediate stage the necks have grown until the pore space is a connected network of roughly cylindrical channels running along the three-grain edges. This is where most of the densification happens, because the pores are still attached to grain boundaries and vacancies have a short path to a sink. The stage ends when the cylinders pinch off into isolated pores.
