Abstract
ABSTRACTAlumina ceramics of different purities were joined using alumina gel as an interlayer and microwave energy as the heating source. Direct microwave joining of alumina was also accomplished. A comparison between the two joining methods was made. The effect of the gel on joining time and joining temperature was determined. Knoop microhardness was measured across the joint to show the change in the microhardness at the joint region. Joints of hardness as high as that of the bulk were produced when the joining parameters were properly selected. The dielectric properties of the aluminas used in this study were measured. X-ray maps and SEM micrographs were taken for different joints.
