Sintering : from empirical observations to scientific principles /

As sintering applications march toward a 30 billion global business, the models for sintering have progressed, but generally follow behind observation. Documentation of the steps needed to build to a quantitative and predictive theory are often missed. Sintering: From Empirical Observations to Scien...
