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.
Because the sintering temperature does not have to reach the melting point of the material, sintering is often chosen as the shaping process for materials with extremely high melting points such as tungsten and molybdenum. The study of sintering in metallurgy powder-related processes is known as powder metallurgy.
