Metals both have good mechanical and electrical qualities, besides, they are also created as light as possible by using recent manufacturing techniques. In that scope, this study aims to use an ultra-high frequency sintering technique to sinter aluminum powders of 15 µm in size. A mold and 30 bar pressure were used to compress the powders before sintering. For the sintering temperature optimization, 3 experiments were conducted in the induction system at 600°C, 650°C, and 700°C temperatures. Sintering conditions were determined at different time intervals of 3 minutes, 5 minutes, and 10 minutes to find an optimum value for sintering time. Finally, furnace sintering was used for 1 hour at these temperatures. With 2 different sintering, 3 different temperatures, and 3 different time parameters, size, density, porosity, and hardness values were obtained. Obtained results were compared among themselves.
