Summary 1. The relationship between the shrinkage of copper-tin alloys and the initial porosity of compacts (for porosities ranging between 15 and 30%) has a linear character. 2. The shrinkage and density of copper-tin alloys at a given sintering temperature increase with rising tin concentration. Such a character of the concentration dependence of shrinkage and density is due to the fact that, with rising tin content, the initial melting temperature of the alloys decreases; accordingly, the interatomic bond forces diminish, and the diffusional mobility of atoms increases. 3. The minimum sintering temperature of copper-tin, alloy is 0.80–0.85 of the absolute melting temperature of the alloys.
