powder-related processes is known as powder metallurgy.

An example of sintering can be observed when ice cubes in a glass of water adhere to each other, which is driven by the temperature difference between the water and the ice. Examples of pressure-driven sintering are the compacting of snowfall to a glacier, and the formation of a hard snowball by pressing loose snow together.

The material produced by sintering is called sinter. The word sinter comes from the Middle High German
