The Effect of Heating Rate and Temperature on Mechanical and Microstructure Properties of β-TCP by Microwave Sintering

Abstract:

This aim of this work was to evaluate the influences of the heating rates and sintering temperatures for sintering β-TCP by microwave furnace. In the first part of work, the heating rates used for sintering β-TCP were including 10, 20, 30 and 40°C/min. Results from physical and mechanical analysis shown that the optimum properties were shown by samples produced at heating rate of 30°C/min. In the second part of the study, the heating rate of 30°C/min was continuing used to sintering samples by different temperatures (1200°C, 1250°C and 1300°C). The sintered sample at 1200°C presented the optimum properties in the physical and mechanical analysis. Finally, the sintered samples by the heating rate 30°C/min at 1200°C were in immersed in SBF to confirm the bioactivity property of β-TCP.
