Pure aluminium powder with average particle size of 25 um was pressed at 580 MPa reaching a green density of 97.5% theoretical density to form a circular disk. Sintering was carried out under argon gas atmosphere at 620°C for 3 hours. The effect of sintering conditions (temperature, time, and atm...
