| Abstract |
| Sintering diagrams suggested by Ashby delineate, in terms of variables,
the regions in which a mechanism of sintering is predominantly
operative. We have suggested modifications in the method of constructing
such diagrams and devised a computer program which gives
what we caD Relative Contribution Diagrams (RCD) directly as an
output. The additional advantages of RCD have been reported earlier.
An important problem in constructing these diagrams is that a very
large number of rate equations and physical properties of the materials
have to be contended with. These, it has been suspected, would
communicate their inaccuracies to the diagrams. RCD of U02 were
used to identify the properties which have a significant effect on the
diagrams. The reciprocal result of this exercise, which determines the
level of inaccuracies that can be tolerated in the remaining properties,
is also very useful in increasing the confidence with which sintering
diagrams may be used. |
