Abstract

Experimental investigations on millimeter-wave sintering of iron and steel powder compacts have been performed in a compact 15 kW gyrotron system operating at 30GHz in reducing atmosphere. Linear shrinkage, thermal expansion and changes in ohmic resistance were measured as a function of temperature using a modified dilatometer system. This data contains useful information about microstructural changes with respect to the inter-particle electrical contacts during the sintering process.
