Sintering: This step involves compacting and forming a solid mass of material by applying heat or pressure without melting it to the point of liquefaction. Sintering helps in reducing porosity and increasing the density of the material. Annealing: This step involves heating the material to a specific temperature and then allowing it to cool down slowly. Annealing helps in relieving internal stresses, improving crystallinity, and enhancing the overall mechanical properties of the material.
