Microwave sintering of mullite-Al2O3 from kaolin precursor

In the present work the effect of the microwave hybrid fast sintering of mullite-Al2O3 with non-stoichiometric mullite composition was investigated. Samples were fast sintered using a range of microwave power from 1.2 to 2.1 kW. The mullitization process of the silica-rich composition was faster tha...
