  • Methods of forming bonded articles including similar or dissimilar materials and related articles
    Patent number: 12600683
    Abstract: A method of forming an article includes partially sintering a first feed material to form a first preform. The first preform exhibits a density percentage of from about 50% to about 90% of a theoretical maximum sintering density of the first preform. The method further includes partially sintering a second feed material to form a second preform. The second preform exhibits a density of from about 50% to about 90% of a theoretical maximum sintering density of the second preform. The first preform is positioned adjacent to the second preform, and the first preform is bonded to the second preform via a final sintering process to form a bonded article. Additional methods and articles are disclosed.
