Effects of Simulation-Guided Microwave Presintering Process on the Preparation and Final Properties of Pure Ceramic Rings: Lower Sintering Temperature and Higher Mechanical Propert... by Xiao Lu, Tong-Tong Zhou, Feng-He Zhao, Xiao-Xiong Wang, Li-Xiang Chen, Yun-Ze Long

“…Comparing the final sintering temperatures and mechanical properties of the final ceramic-sintered rings obtained by microwave presintering to those obtained by conventional presintering, microwave presintered sample has a final temperature of 1400°C, which is 100°C lower than that of conventional presintering, which is 1500°C; its average grain size of 0.18 μm is dramatically smaller than that of conventional presintering, which is 0.24 μm, with about 80% of the grain sizes present in the range of 0.1-0.2 μm and a relative density of about 99%, as opposed to conventional presintering’s 70% falling between 0.2 and 0.3 μm and relative density of about 98%; the Vickers hardness and fracture toughness for microwave presintered sample reach 1550 kg·f·mm−2 and 9.05 MPa m1/2, respectively, which are both greater than 1431 kg·f·mm−2 and 8.86 MPa m1/2 in the conventional samples.…”
