Abstract:

Ultra high-temperature microwave processing, utilizing temperatures over 1900 deg C, is addressed. Primary areas of concentration involve titanium diboride TiB2 - 3 wt CrB2 and boron carbide B4C -2.5 wt C. Using 2.45 GHz radiation, high-density, crack-free specimens can be produced. The importance of casketing and coverings along with material interactions is discussed. Comparison of microwaving with conventional sintering or hot-pressing indicates that microwaving may be advantageous.
