Abstract

The zirconia-alumina composite, a low loss material, was sucessfully sintered using a 2.45 GHz microwave radiation. The dense zirconia was used as a microware coupling aid. The effect of microwave power level on the heating rates of samples and the feasibility of microwave energy use in processign ceramec materials were obtained. It was also obtained how to accurately measure the temperature. According to the microwave heating theory, heating mechanisms were discussed.
