This research investigates the effect of hybrid microwave energy toward the enhancement of tool life in Al₂O₃ inserts. Post sintering was done using conventional and hybrid microwave sintering at 600°C for 15 mins and compared the findings with the original available commercial inserts. Mechanical t...
