Abstract

Some kinetics parameters of alumina during microwave sintering were studied and compared with that during conventional sintering. The results demonstrated that the sintering rates for microwave processing were much greater than that for conventional processing, and the grain growth of alumina was rapid with prolonged time at high temperature in a microwave field. It was indicated that the microwave sintering at higher temperatures for a shorter time was favorable for preparing high density and fine-grained alumina ceramics.
