Abstract

Sintered reaction-bonded silicon nitride (SRBSN) tiles were fabricated using microwave and conventional heating. Materials from both processes were analyzed at various stages in their fabrication. Microwave processing resulted in a SRBSN material of higher density and strength than the conventionally processed material.
