Abstract: The invention relates to a method for optically monitoring the progression of a physical and/or chemical process taking place on a surface of a body in which the surface radiation which emanates from part of the surface during the physical and/or chemical process, is measured with the aid of a measuring device, in particular a sensor. In order to develop a method of this kind such that sintering processes can also be monitored in a firing furnace having thermal radiation equilibrium, the invention proposes to emit the radiation (14) having a radiation spectrum that differs from the surface radiation, to the surface (10) by means of a radiation source (15) and to measure the radiation with the aid of a measuring device (16).

Abstract: A mixture of two particulate phases used in the production of a green compact that can be sintered at higher temperatures. The first phase contains particles that consist of a metal and/or a metal allow and/or a metal compound. The second phase contains particles from the group of the inorganic compounds that do not release any decomposition products at temperatures of more than 400° C., that are interstitially soluble in the sintering metal phase, and/or that react with the second phase to stable compounds. The mixture, by providing the second phase, is effective in supporting the fine structure of the first phase against the forces of surface tensions during the sintering process. During sintering, the second phase remains thermally stable and substantially chemically inert with respect to the first phase.

Abstract: Process for the production of a component, in which metal or ceramic powder (6) is applied under centrifugal force to the inner wall of a gas-permeable mold (13), which is under reduced pressure and is located in a reduced-pressure vessel (10), and precompacted, after which the mold (13) is removed from the vessel (10) and sintered. The mold (13) consists of a heap of ceramic grains with an organic binder having high strength between room temperature and a temperature just below the sintering temperature, in order to support the powder (6) to be sintered to give the component. When sintering starts, the binder evaporates or burns away, as a result of which the mold (13) substantially loses its supporting action for the component. Binder: aminolic, phenolic, furan resin.

The process allows production of a hollow body or of a layered body as the component by programming the powder injection.
