Sintering under a reducing atmosphere (e.g., H₂, forming gas, N₂/H₂ blends) offers crucial benefits— oxide removal, improved densification, enhanced mechanical properties — for metal and ceramic powders. This article reviews the mechanism, process parameters, advantages, limitations, and application guidelines of high‑temperature reducing‑atmosphere sintering, providing a reference for researchers and industrial practitioners.
