Abstract: Methods of forming earth-boring rotary drill bits by forming and joining two or less than fully sintered components, by forming and joining a first fully sintered component with a first shrink rate and forming a second less than fully sintered component with a second sinter-shrink rate greater that that of the first shrink rate of the first fully sintered component, by forming and joining a first less than fully sintered component with a first sinter-shrink rate and by forming and joining at least a second less than fully sintered component with a second sinter-shrink rate less than the first sinter- shrink rate. The methods include co-sintering a first less than fully sintered component and a second less than fully sintered component to a desired final density to form at least a portion of an earth-boring rotary drill bit which may either cause the first less than fully sintered component and the second less than fully sintered component to join or may cause one of the first less than fully sintered component and the second less than fully sintered component to shrink around and at least partially capture the other less than fully sintered component. Earth-boring rotary drill bits are formed using such methods.
