Solid state sintering behavior of nanocrystalline (35 nm) gamma-Ni-Fe powders, which were sintered under hydrogen atmospheres at temperatures up to 1300 K, was investigated by laser-photo-dilatometry. The sinterability of the gamma-Ni-Fe powders was found to depend crucially on the state of agglomeration and was generally limited to about 80 pet theoretical density. Metallographic observations revealed that the nanocrystalline powders showed a high degree of agglomeration which resulted in a difficult-to-sinter bimodal pore distribution. Although nanoscale intraagglomerate porosity was easily eliminated in the course of sintering, microscale interagglomerate porosity largely proved to resist densification. Experimentally observed shrinkage rates exhibit two densification maxima at the onset and the end of densification. No significant grain growth was observed during sintering.
