Nickeldeposition on SiC powders was achieved by using electroless nickel platingtechnique.  It is sintered at temperaturesbetween 500°C, 600 °C, 700°C, 800°C and 900°C under Ar atmosphere. XRD, SEM(Scanning Electron Microscope), pressure test and hardness measurements wereused to characterize the properties of sintered samples in microwave furnace. Theexperimental results, maximum compressive strength (?max) and hardness (HV)were carried out at 800 °C.  Microwavesintering of Ni-coated SiC powders without electric current can be a promisingtechnique for producing ceramic-reinforced nickel composites.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessMicrowave sinteringPowder metallurgyCompositesNickel platingArticle11-838910.29137/umagd.474003474003
