Abstract
- and -SiC powder mixtures with 0.3 mass% of AlB2 were sintered at 2200oC. Porous materials having 43-45% porosity were obtained. Grains in the powder mixtures grew into plate-shaped grains of 6-8 m size, and -SiC transformed into -SiC. Free energy due to the polytype transformation enhanced material transport very much. The new rate theory proposed here explained very well the behavior of the grain growth.
