In ceramics, the shaped raw mass is sintered.

Uniform, all-around coating, even with complex shapes. Compacting (sintering, granulating) of powdered or fine-grained materials through pressure and temperatures below the melting point, where the surfaces of the individual grains bond together. In metallurgy, sintering is the primary method for solidifying ores, metal powders, and similar materials. Sintering baths are used here.
