We outline a model for the sintering of two particles in 3D by surface and grain boundary diffusion, showing the effect of the joining conditions, using a simple formula for grain boundary diffusion. Using centerwise shifts, we implicitly take account of grain boundary migration. We show that whether an evolution will reach an equilibrium state or a quasi-equilibrium state and the kind of equilibrium depends on the joining conditions. The method of lines is used successfully in the computation to exhibit realistic solutions. The model and the computation could be used to simulate the sintering of a cluster of particles by “patching”.
