Abstract
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.
