Abstract

The study of microwave ceramics sintering at different frequencies of radiation has important implication for clarifying a specific effect inherent to microwave-based processes and determining the optimal conditions of sintering which yield a high-quality final product. Comparative study of Si3N4-based ceramics sintering at the frequencies of 30 and 83GHz was undertaken on retention of all the conditions but a frequency and microwave power. It is found that an increase in microwave frequency results in reduction in silicon nitride decomposition during sintering.
