Abstract
A method for making a sintered article comprising providing a plurality of individual blocks of sinterable matrix material, arranging said blocks in abutting relationship to form an assembly of said blocks in a sinter mold wherein said assembly comprises a plurality of said blocks extending in at least one direction thereof and sintering said assembly under pressure in the mold to form an integrated sintered article. The blocks may contain abrasive particles to provide a sintered abrasive article and individual abrasive segments may be extracted from the article.
