Huadong sintering model about expansion and shrinkage

The whole sintering course from the beginning of heating to the end of heat preservation stage was studied by taking into account the influence of pressing. It was found that there exist expanding mechanism and shrinking mechanism in the sintering process, and the expanding mechanism is always acting before the shrinking mechanism. Whether the sintering body shrinks or expands depends on the interaction between the two mechanisms. And according to this, the Huadong sintering model in account of expansion and shrinkage mechanism was given.
