A kinetic, Monte Carlo model, capable of simulating microstructural evolution sintering in a two‐dimensional system of three particles, has been presented. The model can simulate several mechanisms simultaneously. It can simulate curvature‐driven grain growth, pore migration and coarsening by surface diffusion, and densification by diffusion of vacancies to grain boundaries and annihilation of these vacancies. Morphologic changes and densification kinetics are used to verify the model.
