Abstract
Quantitative serial sectioning analysis has been applied to the study of the evolution of the microstructure of the pore network during the last ten percent of densification in the sintering of loose stacked nickel powder. This paper focuses upon the combined use of classical stereological counting measurements and topological information obtained from analyzing serial sections. The results demonstrate that the microstructural evolution is surprisingly different from the scenario visualized in conventional wisdom.
