T on the sintered matrix and it might minimize quantity of pores of your sintered samples. Furthermore, tered matrix and it may lower thethe number of pores in the sintered samples. In addition, the the grain size grows using the increase with the Ni content. grain size grows finerfiner with the enhance from the Ni content material.3.1.

Ni.Figure shows the variation the sintering density , the , the theoretical 0 and Figure 3 three shows the variation ofof the sintering density theoretical density density the density of sintered matrix under distinctive Ni contents in pre-alloyed powders. As and the density of sintered matrix below distinct Ni contents in pre-alloyed powders. the addition of Ni in pre-alloyed powders is less, the theoretical density 0 of sintered of sintered As the addition of Ni in pre-alloyed powders is significantly less, the theoretical density matrix changes little. The sintering density also as the density enhance progressively matrix the porosity decreases with thedensity of Ni properly as inside the pre-alloyed powder. As alterations small. The sintering boost as content material the density improve steadily and as well as the porosity decreases have low melting points, they will inside the pre-alloyed powder. As Sn and Zn inside the powder together with the improve of Ni content material type a Hexaflumuron Protocol liquid phase at low Sn sintering in the powder have low melting points,the voids inside the sintered matrix so low and Zn temperature. Then these liquid phase fills they will form a liquid phase at that the density with the matrix is enhanced. However, the liquid phase with a low melting point is simple to flow away at decrease sintering temperatures, so the function of Cu, Zn and SnCrystals 2021, 11, x FOR PEER REVIEWCrystals 2021, 11,sintering temperature. Then these liquid phase fills the voids within the sintered matrix so tha the density of your matrix is improved. Nonetheless, the liquid phase using a low melting poin is easy to flow away at decrease sintering temperatures, so the function of Cu, Zn and Sn as bond sintering temperature. Then these liquid phase fills the voids inside the sintered matrix so that ing phase is weakened. Resulting from the higher melting point of Ni, the addition of Ni reduces the five of 11 the density from the matrix is enhanced. Nevertheless, the liquid phase using a low melting point loss of low melting point liquid phase. Consequently, the sintering density also as the is easy to flow away at decrease sintering temperatures, so the role of Cu, Zn and Sn as bonddensity increases with the improve of Ni contents. ing phase is weakened. As a result of the higher melting point of Ni, the addition of Ni reduces the loss of low phase is weakened. Resulting from theTherefore, the sintering the addition ofwell as the as Ni as bonding melting point liquid phase. high melting point of Ni, density reduces loss of low melting point liquid phase. Therefore, the sintering density as density theincreases with the boost of Ni contents.effectively as the density increases with the raise of Ni contents.
