Abstract

The effective characteristics of high frequency and strong electric field processing were observed. One of the interesting effects is so called non-thermal effect or microwave effect. In order to widely study the non-thermal effect of ceramics sintering, we developed a material processing system by using a 300 GHz gyrotron. Successful submillimeter wave sintering of partially stabilized zirconia ceramics was obtained.
