Abstract

Attempts are being made to exploit the inverse temperature profile which can be developed with microwave heating with respect to the processing of certain advanced ceramics. This paper discusses the results obtained to date during the microwave sintering of YBCO high-Tc superconductors and the microwave reaction bonding of silicon nitride.
