Abstract
A method of sintering ceramic formed bodies, in which a container for sintering is disposed in a sintering space of a sintering furnace, and atmospheric gas is introduced from an atmospheric gas inlet port provided on a bottom surface of the container for sintering into a large number of ceramic formed bodies piled up in the container for sintering, thereby to sinter the large number of ceramic formed bodies piled upon each other, while introducing the atmospheric gas into spaces between the ceramic formed bodies.
Claims4
A sintering method for sintering a plurality of ceramic formed bodies disposed in a container, said container disposed in a furnace for sintering, comprising the steps of:
- introducing atmospheric gas through an atmospheric gas inlet port of said container, said atmospheric gas inlet port being provided in an inner wall portion of said container in contact with the plurality of ceramic formed bodies piled upon each other in said container, said container having a bottom surface and said atmospheric gas inlet port being disposed so as to open into the bottom surface of said container;
- supplying the atmospheric gas directly to surfaces of the plurality of piled ceramic formed bodies by passing the atmospheric gas through spaces between the ceramic formed bodies;
- and
- sintering said plurality of ceramic formed bodies.
