Problems and Solutions in Sintering Science and Technology 

About the Book

This book presents a collection of problems and questions used in the author’s sintering course at KAIST from 1984 to 2019, many of which are adapted from Sintering: Densification, Grain Growth and Microstructure (Elsevier Butterworth-Heinemann, 2005). The material is organized into four parts covering the fundamentals of sintering science, bonding and densification, grain growth and microstructural evolution, and selected supplementary topics, including ionic compounds and diffusion-induced interface migration. The book follows a modified structure of the author’s widely used sintering textbook.
