Microwave sintering of alumina-SiC composites at 2. 45 and 60 GHz
Conference
·
OSTI ID:5573511
Composites of alumina-10 vol % silicon carbide whiskers were sintered to 70% of theoretical density using both 2.45 and 60 GHz microwave radiation. Further densification was inhibited by formation of a constrained network of whiskers. Alumina-10 vol % silicon carbide platelet composites were sintered to 94% of theoretical density with 2.45 GHz microwaves in less than 20 minutes. 4 refs., 11 figs.
