Amended June 27, 2013 by D.13-06-011 in R.08-11-005. I. Purpose. The purpose of this General Order is to establish requirements for electric. distribution and transmission facilities (excluding those facilities contained in a. substation) regarding inspections in order to ensure safe and high-quality. electrical service.
Sintering is the process of compacting and forming a solid mass of material by heat[1] or pressure[2] without melting it to the point of liquefaction.
Sintering is static when a metal powder under certain external conditions may exhibit coalescence, and yet reverts to its normal behavior when such conditions are removed. In most cases, the density of a collection of grains increases as material flows into voids, causing a decrease in overall volume.
