What does SINTER mean in Scrabble?
verb
technicalchemistry
To fuse or bond together particles of a powdered solid, such as metal or ceramic, into a solid mass by heating them under pressure without fully melting the material.
To sinter something is to bind loose particles into a single coherent piece using heat that softens their surfaces without letting the whole mass turn liquid, a process widely used to shape metal and ceramic powders economically. The same word also names a noun, describing the whitish or brownish mineral crust that hot springs and geysers deposit as they cool, since that crust forms by a broadly similar bonding of fine particles. Geologists sometimes distinguish siliceous sinter from calcareous deposits, depending on the mineral involved.
