Abstract

Gels in the CaO-A12O3-SiO2 (CAS) system were successfully converted into glass in a single mode, tuneable, cylindrical microwave applicator, operating at 2.45 GHz in the TM012 mode. Transparent glasses were formed as a result of the direct microwave heating of homogeneous CAS gels to well above their melting temperature (1170°C). The effect of processing parameters, such as incident power level, sample mass and location, and thermal insulation has been investigated. The excellent coupling of the CAS gel with microwave can be understood from the structural evolution during sol-gel processing.
