State whether the following is true or false.
Linear and volumetric shrinkage during sintering are the same number.

  • A.False only at small scales
  • B.True
  • C.False
  • D.True only at large scales

Answer: C

Correct answer: False

Volumetric shrinkage is roughly three times the linear figure for small strains, and exactly \( 1-(1-\varepsilon_L)^3 \) in general. Confusing the two is the standard error in mould design: sizing a die for 14 per cent when the volume change is 36 per cent, or the reverse, produces a part far from the intended dimensions.
