Basic and mixed models for computer simulation of liquid phase sintering of a porous structure

Abstract

A two-dimensional method based on basic and mixed models for simulation of liquid phase sintering of a porous structure will be developed. These models will be tested in order to conduct a study of diffusion phenomena and gravitational effects on microstructural evolution during liquid phase sintering of a W-Ni system.
