Abstrakt: The densification kinetics of 0.99 SnO2-0.01 CuO molar mixtures have been studied between 850 and 1150 °C. Both experimental analyses and theoretical modelling show the role of a liquid phase for sintering temperatures Ts = 940 °C: sintering is controlled by a liquid phase after a fast shrinkage due to grain rearrangement. The analytical formulation of the shrinkage behaviour suggests that dissolution at the solid-liquid interface is the limiting process when Ts = 1000 °C and diffusion is the limiting step at higher temperatures.
