Abstract

The gravity effects on liquid-phase sintering (LPS) were experimentally examined by varying the solid- and liquid-phase density difference from 0–9 g cm−3. The overall solid-volume fraction was held at 0.30 to allow free settling of solid grains in the liquid matrix. The solid grains were found to settle and pack to form a solid skeleton with a volume fraction of solid that reflects the density difference.
