Synthesis of pewter alloy from tin–copper–antimony powder mixtures by microwave and conventional sintering

Two compositions of pewter alloy were sintered using both microwave and conventional vacuum sintering, and the effects of sintering time, temperature and weight percentage of copper and antimony on the mechanical and structural properties were examined for both sintering methods. Microwave sintered...
