The pressure application in the processing is critically available for the fabrication of fine ceramics such as electroceramics, engineering ceramics, optoceramics and bioceramics. In the sintering process of ceramics, especially non-oxide ceramics, hot-pressing, hipping and gas pressure sintering are the most important technologies. This paper describes the outline of application effects of the pressure on sintering of ceramics, in which the above three kinds of methods are mainly introduced. Since hipping and gas pressure sintering are described in other chapters of this Journal, role of hot-pressing on sintering has been explained in details.
