Rapid sintering of compacted electrically conductive powders under heating by intense microwave radiation is investigated within a one-dimensional simulation model. The model accounts for the effective dielectric and magnetic properties of the powder material, electromagnetic field distribution, heat losses by thermal radiation, and densification. It is demonstrated that metal powders with insulating boundary layers on particles have low dielectric and magnetic losses, which results in a resonant character of microwave absorption. The influence of the interparticle contacts is investigated by introducing an effective electrical conductivity of the boundary layers, which can depend on the density. It is demonstrated that the losses in the boundary layers can stabilize the microwave heating process, facilitating rapid densification.

Summary: This study investigates the effects of dopant concentration and heating rate on the densification curves of ZnO samples. Results show that direct absorption of microwave radiation leads to a shift of the densification curves towards lower temperatures. Additionally, the analysis presents the impact of absorbed microwave power on the formation of grain-boundary phases that facilitate densification.
