Characteristics of millimeter-wave (MM) sintering were investigated in high pure alumina from the standpoints of their structural and mechanical properties, comparing with the conventionally-sintered alumina. Nearly fully-densified pure alumina was obtained at 1250 C in the MM-sintering, indicating the decrease of about 250 C in the sintering temperature in comparison with the conventional sintering. From SEM observation and XRD measurement, it was found that similar grain sizes ranging from 2 µm to 3 µm and similar crystallite sizes were detected in both aluminas, which were sintered at 1250 C by MM-heating and at 1500 C by conventional heating. Further, remarkable growth of crystallites was observed in the MM sintering at 1200 C. MM-sintered aluminas showed the average bending strength higher than 800 MPa, whereas conventionally-sintered aluminas showed only the average bending strength less than 600 MPa. It is concluded that the high bending strength of MM-sintered alumina is not attributed to the differences of both grain and crystallite sizes.
