Effect of Particle Morphology on Sinterability of SiC- Z r O 𝟐 in Microwave

Figure 3

FE-SEM micrographs of particles morphology appearance of SiC-ZrO2 with (a) nonmilled powder mixture (heterogeneous) with the amount of ZrO2 particles that attach on the surface of the SiC powders is very limited (b) milled powder (homogeneous) particle morphology with the surface of the SiC powders becoming finer and almost fully covered with ZrO2 particles.
