Origin and Evolution of sintering

First Known Use: 1887 year
Language of Origin: German
Story behind the word: The word 'sintering' originates from the German word 'sintern' which means to form a coherent mass by heating without melting.
Evolution of the word: Originally used in the field of metallurgy to describe the process of compacting and forming a solid mass from powdered materials through heating, the term 'sintering' has since been adopted in various industries such as ceramics, electronics, and 3D printing to refer to similar processes of heat-induced bonding and densification.
