Microwave Sintering Of Nanometer and Micrometer Ferrite Powders

摘要

Two ferrite powders, one nanometre and one micrometre- sized, have been processed into small pellets using two differ- ent green forming routes, viz. Die pressing and slip casting. Prior to forming using slip casting the powders were dis- Persed into water using a range of surfactants and then wet Ground in an attempt to reduce the presence of agglomerates In the as-received powder. The pellets were subsequently Microwave sintered using a TE_102 single mode applicator Operating at 2.45 GHz.
