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.
Pressing and sintering are the mechanisms used to form solid parts from powders. Pressing occurs first, then sintering. Before pressing, the powder is fully prepared as explained in the powder metallurgy section.intering time is dependent on manufacturing process factors and material. Tungsten, for example, is sintered for a relatively long time. Standard industrial powder sintering times for different processes and materials vary from 8 minutes to 10 hours. A controlled atmosphere is critical during powder sintering.
