Abstract
A model of early-stage sintering for polyhedral particles is examined with a highly sinterable Al2O3 powder. Combining of the initial and intermediate stages based on the model concerned describes quantitatively its sintering data such as power dependence of time and reduction in a specific surface area. Valid estimations of a model and/or mechanisms of sintering necessita te the accurate measurement of both shrinkage versus sintering time and spe cific surface area versus shrinkage.
