Gas-solid reactive sintering can also be used in the oxidation of most metals or, more important, mixtures of metals. After oxidation, solid state sintering takes place. With mixtures of metals, a mixed oxide is produced which can be sintered by either solid state or liquid phase sintering. One example of alloy oxidation to produce a ceramic is in the synthesis of the superconductor YBa2Cu3Q. ...
