Dimensional and mass changes as well as creep and wetting properties are monitored up to very high temperatures in various atmospheres. By that, process parameters and setup for binder removal, sintering and infiltration processes have been optimized using conditions which are close to the heat treatment of components in production furnaces.en666journal article
