Abstract

Recently, experiments have begun at the ORNL to develop microwave sintering techniques suitable for large ceramic parts. Microwave sintering offers the advantages of faster heating rates, more uniform heating and greater energy efficiency than conventional sintering techniques. We are using 28 GHz, 200 kW cw gyrotrons as our heating source. An untuned cavity is used as the applicator to eliminate geometry sensitivity in coupling efficiency.
