Abstract
A method for sintering refractories comprising adding 0.05 to 10% by weight of an electro-conductive particles to a group of dielectric refractory particles to obtain a mixture thereof, and heating the mixture by means of microwave induction heating to sinter the refractions.
Claims3
A method for sintering refractories which comprises mixing a group of dielectric refractory particles with 0.1 to 5% by weight of an electric conductor, in which the particle size of the electric conductor is not more than 10 times the skin depth of the conductor in the microwave region, forming the mixture and sintering the formed mixture thus obtained by means of microwave induction heating in a space surrounded by a metal wall.
