Abstract
A single furnace loading cycle method for sintering at least one product. The method comprises the steps of placing at least one product into a ventable/sealable box, which box is placed inside a furnace. The box is vented inside the furnace at a first temperature range, and then the box is sealed with the at least one product inside the box in a second temperature range, wherein the second temperature range is higher than the first temperature range, and wherein the step of sealing occurs after the step of venting without removing the box from the furnace.
