ABSTRACTMicrowave sintering of Si3N4—based materials showed improved densification as compared to samples heated conventionally under similar conditions. Accelerated nitridation of Si in the microwave furnace to produce Si3N4 was also observed. Dense Si3N4, annealed by microwave heating, exhibited enhanced grain growth; however preferential coupling of the microwave power to the grain—boundary phases in the present experiments resulted in their degradation.

ABSTRACTSintered reaction-bonded silicon nitride (SRBSN) tiles were fabricated using microwave and conventional heating. Materials from both processes were analyzed at various stages in their fabrication. Microwave processing resulted in a SRBSN material of higher density and strength than the conventionally processed material.
