The present study investigates the effect of sintering temperature on densification behavior and properties of liquid phase sintered Cu-28Zn brass alloy. Microstructural evolution, chemical analysis and mechanical properties measurements have been studied in details. Obtained results allowed to accurately evaluating the sintering characteristic of this alloy. It is especially relevant in sintered samples that exhibits a pronounced variation of microstructure from top to down part of the specimens and consequently graded densification which was due to gravitational effect.
