description A furnace (10) for the sintering of refractory or ceramic materials using plasma heated gases. The furnace comprises a sintering chamber (12) with strategic positioning of the plasma torch inlets (14 and 14 min ) and exhaust outlet (16), and means for controlling the furnace temperature during sintering so that the article being sintered does not decompose. Means for controlling the furnace temperature during sintering include: 1) Tangential injection of a secondary colder gas stream into the hot primary plasma gas stream; 2) Utilisation of a plasma torch or torches which can be temperature controlled to achieve stable and lower plasma gas temperatures; and 3) Introduction of a secondary cooler gas directly into the furnace sintering chamber.
