Microwave versus conventional sintering: Microstructure and mechanical properties of Al2O3–SiC ceramic composites

In this report, Al2O3–SiC ceramic composites were produced at 1500 °C by conventional and microwave sintering. For preparing samples, Al2O3 with the second phase x wt.% SiC (x = 5, 10, 15, 20) were milled for 180 min. The milled powders were compacted in uniaxial press at 60 MPa for 30 s and sintere...
