Scope note
Refers to the process or technique of welding together particles or particulate material, usually metal or ceramic, by applying heat below the melting point, so that the particles coalesce into a solid mass without liquefaction. It is typically used to create or decorate ceramics or metalwork, or to improve the mechanical or physical properties of metal.
