Analysis of Sintered Copper Powder: Dana Emmellyne B. Aguto

Uploaded by

Dana Emmellyne Aguto

This document analyzes sintered copper powder through experimentation. It introduces sintering and its applications, and discusses factors that affect the sintering process. The methodology section describes preparing 8 copper powder samples that were pelletized under different pressures and then sintered at varying temperatures and times according to the experimental setup table. Dimensions and mass were measured before and after sintering and cooling. Metallographic analyses were then performed on the samples. Results and discussion are provided in section III.
