S306: mixing the obtained powder with a binder to form slurry, and granulating.
In some embodiments, the binder may be a polyvinyl alcohol solution with a concentration of 5 wt% to 11 wt% (e.g., 5 wt% to 8 wt%) (i.e., the polyvinyl alcohol in the binder is 5 wt% to 11 wt%). The binder may account for 10% to 15% of the total mass of the mixed slurry.
In some embodiments, the granulated powder may also be sieved (e.g., 40 mesh).
S307: and (4) carrying out dry pressing forming in a die matched with the shape of the medium block.
Specifically, the granulated powder is placed into a mold matched with the shape of the medium block to be prepared, and is subjected to dry pressing under a proper pressure, for example, the powder can be subjected to dry pressing under a pressure of 100 to 150 MPa.
In other embodiments, the shape of the mold can be selected as desired, for example, if testing is required, a mold dedicated for testing can be used to dry press the powder into a shape
To facilitate testing. It will be appreciated that the shape and size of the mouldCan be selected arbitrarily according to the needs, and is not limited herein.
S308: the binder is removed and sintered again to obtain the dielectric block.
The proper temperature can be selected for heat preservation treatment, so that the binder introduced in the step S106 is removed, and then sintering is carried out again, so that the required microwave dielectric ceramic is finally obtained. Specifically, in this embodiment, the molded material may be heat-preserved at 550-650 ℃ for 1-3 hours, and then sintered at 1400-1600 ℃ (e.g., 1450-1550 ℃) for 1-5 hours (e.g., 2-4 hours). Thus, the binder added to the material in step S106 can be removed, and the microwave dielectric ceramic having a desired shape can be obtained.
