Characteristics of hybrid microwave sintering of Zn-AI-Cu-Mg alloy
Hybrid microwave sintering is a promising method to enhance better properties of sintered metallic alloys. Mixtures of Zn-Al-Cu-Mg elements with 8 wt-%, 12 wt-%, and 27 wt-% fractions of Al were sintered by hybrid microwave method and compared with conventionally sintered products. Compositional,...

| Summary: | Hybrid microwave sintering is a promising method to enhance better properties of sintered metallic
alloys. Mixtures of Zn-Al-Cu-Mg elements with 8 wt-%, 12 wt-%, and 27 wt-% fractions of Al were sintered by
hybrid microwave method and compared with conventionally sintered products. Compositional, structural and
thermo-mechanical characteristics of the sintered products were investigated. Analysis of the results confirmed
the significant technical and economic advantages of hybrid microwave sintering to conventional sintering. The
coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) was reduced from 28.25 um/m'C to 21:23 llm/moC by increasing Al
content from 8 wt-% to 27 wt-%. |
