High density BaCeO3 ceramics sintered using microwave irradiation
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 26 February 2011
Abstract
The goal of this work was to investigate the capabilities of high-power microwaves in manufacture of small-grained barium cerate ceramics. Having compared the samples sintered in the microwave and the thermal fields, we inferred that the microwave sintering occurs at far higher rates. It is also noteworthy that microwave sintering provides a record-breaking low temperature of barium cerate sintering (900°C). Having studied the effect of a microwave field on the microstructure of sintering products, we found that high-power microwave processing significantly reduces the average grain size of barium cerate ceramics.
