Notes:
The drying and sintering processes require large quantities of energy. If this energy couldbe used more efficiently, less would be consumed. In this research, the effect of the microwave on themanufacturing process of ceramics where heat was needed was examined. We obtained the followingresults when oxide ceramics were dried and sintered by microwave technique: In drying process, slipcast bodies were dried rapidly by microwave drying and compared with those dried by conventionaldrying techniques. In sintering process, power consumption and efficiency were lower with thetime-control method than with the power-control method. The power-control method gave moreprecise temperature control under our experimental conditions
