Summary
Sintering of ceramics at high temperature (>1700°C) in conventional furnaces is time and energy consuming. Often hot isostatic pressing is preferred. Several materials B4C, AIN, SiC, Al2O3 have been microwave sintered and scaling to large size is demonstrated. A simplified steady state model is outlined. Experiments were conducted with both 2.45 and 24 GHz microwave furnaces.
