Declaration: To the best of our knowledge, the investigated metallic/ceramic/metal-ceramic powders are neither toxic nor radioactive. They will not melt or evaporate during sintering. We also confirm that there will not be any explosion or anything that would damage the die-punch or any part of the SPS facility. Further, there will not be any damage to the health of the operator(s)/user of the SPS facility with the usage of the investigated powders/powder mixtures in the above mentioned SPS conditions.

If any of the above turns false, the user and his supervisor/principal investigator (PI) will be the responsible persons for all the legal issues, whereas neither operator(s) nor officer-in-charge of the facility will be accountable.
