After successful completion of the course, students are able to understand the sintering behaviour of metallic materials and to predict to some extent from the constitution as well as to reconstruct the sintering process based on metallographic sections.

Sintering mechanisms (solid state, liquid phase, supersolidus ...); practical use of liquid phase sintering; relationships to phase diagrams

Presentation of the contents by ppt, the files being available to the students in TISS. Free questioning by the students as wel as questions to the auditorium by the lecturer. Presentation of representative samples

Termin nach Vereinbarung

Oral examination at flexible dates and times agreed between students and examiner
