Why and how does void disappear: How we reached the modern theory of fusion

This book describes the history of the development of physical ideas of the modern theory of sintering - the basis of the technological process of powder metallurgy and the production of refractory materials. It is shown how, in the close relationship of theory, experiment and technology, new ideas in the field of sintering physics were formed. Clearing the fate of many specific scientific research, the author also talks about scientists who have influenced the development of the science of sintering. The book also includes essays on the possible role of the movement of dislocations in the initial stage of the sintering process.
The book is recommended for high school students, students of physical, mathematical and technical universities-future specialists in the field of solid physics and metal science, as well as all readers interested in the history of science and technology
