13. Driving Force for Sintering As with all processes, sintering is accompanied by an increase in the free energy of the system. The sources that give rise to the amount of free energy are commonly referred to as the driving forces for sintering. The main possible driving forces are The curvature of the particle surfaces An externally applied pressure A chemical reaction
