“…• Liu et al [190][191][192] used the MC method based on a 3D multiple grain arrangement model to simulate the 3D coordination number, contiguity, and grain growth in the LPS of W-Ni-Fe alloys. Liu [193] used the same MC method to simulate the effect of the wetting angle on a dihedral angle distribution and on the degree of the grain boundary penetration by the liquid phase during LPS.…”

Liquid phase sintering (LPS) is a process for forming high performance, multiple-phase components from powders. It involves sintering under conditions where solid grains coexist with a wetting liquid. Many variants of LPS are applied to a wide range of engineering materials. Example applications for this technology are found in automobile engine connecting rods and high-speed metal cutting inserts. Scientific advances in understanding LPS began in the 1950s. The resulting quantitative process models are now embedded in computer simulations to enable predictions of the sintered component dimensions, microstructure, and properties. However, there are remaining areas in need of research attention. This LPS review, based on over 2,500 publications, outlines what happens when mixed powders are heated to the LPS temperature, with a focus on the densification and microstructure evolution events.
