Abstract
The feasibility of microwave sintering of BaTiO3-based ceramics was ex amined and the conditions for a homogeneous sintering for microwave he ated samples were ascertained. A comparative study of microwave sinter ing and conventional sintering was undertaken to determine differences in shrinkage behavior and microstructure development. All microwave s intered ceramics showed an enhanced shrinkage during the solid state s intering stage and in particular in the case of Cu-doped samples (seco ndary phase promoted microwave sintering) a lowering in sintering temp erature was observed.
