Abstract The feasibility of
microwave sintering of BaTiO3 - based Ceramics was examined and the
conditions for a homogeneous sintering, or microwave heated samples were
ascertained. A comparative study of microwave sintering and conventional
sintering vas undertaken to determine differences in shrinkage behavior and microstructure development. All microwave
sintered ceramics showed an enhanced shrinkage during the solid state
sintering stage and in particular in the case of Cu-doped (secondary phase
promoted microwave sintering) a lowering in sintering temperature was
observed. Key Words: Electronic ceramics,
barium, microwave sintering. |
