sintering (countable and uncountable, plural sinterings)

  1. A process in which the particles of a powder are welded together by pressure and heating to a temperature below its melting point.
    • 1993, Malcolm Mellor, Notes on Antarctic Aviation, US Army Corps of Engineers Cold Regions Research & Engineering Laboratory, page 47:
      The idea was to build a thick pavement of high-density dry snow, allowing it to "age-harden" like concrete. The latter process, technically known as sintering, depends on the progressive formation of intergranular bonds, mainly by temperature-dependent vapor diffusion.
