Ky. Lee et al., GRAIN-SIZE, DENSITY, AND MECHANICAL-PROPERTIES OF ALUMINA BATCH-PROCESSED IN A SINGLE-MODE MICROWAVE CAVITY, Materials research bulletin, 32(3), 1997, pp. 287-295
Four different microwave cavity modes, namely, TM(111), TE(112), TE(11
3), and TM(013), were used to sinter alumina powder compacts in a batc
h process using a cylindrical single-mode microwave cavity. The grain
size, mass density, hardness, and fracture toughness of the final dens
ified products were examined in terms of (i) the position of the speci
men within the microwave casket and (ii) the cavity mode. Copyright (C
