Abstract
Recent morphology calculations1–3 have demonstrated the usefulness of geometric parameters other than neck size in monitoring sintering progression. These calculations have provided the first precise relationship between neck size and the specific surface area based on a minimum surface energy consideration in a sphere-to-sphere configuration. Also, shrinkage in particle size or interparticle distance has been directly related to the neck size for the surface- and bulk-transport mechanism,1,2 respectively. Similar relations have been found from an analysis of the sintering of wires.3
