Amended June 27, 2013 by D.13-06-011 in R.08-11-005. I. Purpose. The purpose of this General Order is to establish requirements for electric. distribution and transmission facilities (excluding those facilities contained in a. substation) regarding inspections in order to ensure safe and high-quality. electrical service.
Sintering is the process of compacting and forming a solid mass of material by heat[1] or pressure[2] without melting it to the point of liquefaction.
Although sintering does occur in loose powders, it is greatly enhanced by compacting the powder, and most commercial sintering is done on compacts. Compacting is generally done at room temperature, and the resulting compact is subsequently sintered at elevated temperature without application of pressure.aking ceramic, plastic and metal objects by heating a powder. Sintering by laser is one of the additive fabrication methods used in rapid prototyping and manufacturing. See laser sintering and 3D printing.
