    A comparison of the effects of microwave versus conventional drying on the mechanical properties distribution of dried green porcelains
    (2008) Hemanthakumari, P.N.; Satapathy, L.N.
    The effect of fast microwave drying of electroporcelain insulator component was studied by determining the reliability parameter. The Weibull modulus was calculated using the three-point bend strength data of a large number of green samples which were dried using microwave energy. The results were compared with those obtained by conventional drying methods. It was observed that in most cases, microwave-dried components yielded higher Weibull modulus than their conventionally dried counterparts. A high modulus value of >15 was achieved on the microwave-dried samples. The analysis of the result was useful in understanding the fast drying process in ceramics. © 2008 The American Ceramic Society.
