Abstract
An arrangement (1) including at least one workpiece (2) for sintering, more particularly a dental workpiece, and having at least one support material (3), and including a sintering apparatus (4) for sintering the workpiece (2), wherein the sintering apparatus (4) has at least one gas inlet duct (5) for protective gas and at least one base surface (6), and the workpiece (2) lies on the base surface (6) on the support material (3) and protrudes at least partially beyond the support material (3), wherein the protective gas can be supplied to the workpiece (2) preferably exclusively through the support material (3).
Claims18
An arrangement comprising a workpiece to be sintered, at least one supporting material, and a sintering apparatus, the sintering apparatus includes at least one gas feed for protective gas and a base area, and the workpiece lies on the supporting material, which is integrated in or located on the base area, and protrudes at least partially beyond the supporting material, the at least one gas feed having an outlet that discharges into the supporting material such that the protective gas is fed to the workpiece only through the supporting material.
A method for sintering a workpiece in a sintering apparatus, comprising:
- providing at least one supporting material;
- providing a sintering apparatus including at least one gas feed for protective gas and a base area;
- placing the workpiece on the at least one supporting material, which is integrated in or located on the base area, with the workpiece protruding at least partially beyond the at least one supporting material,
- feeding the protective gas through an outlet of the at least one gas feed that discharges into the at least one supporting material such that the protective gas is fed to the workpiece only through the at least one supporting material;
- sintering the workpiece on the base area while the workpiece lies on the at least one supporting material, with the workpiece at least partially protruding beyond the at least one supporting material, and feeding the protetive gas to the workpiece through the supporting material during sintering.
