Two different requirements, related to the industrial processing
procedure, were chosen to determine the influence of SiC
particle size on the characteristics of the samples. The first one
was to keep a constant firing temperature of 1200 ◦C (firing time
was 6 min for all samples). The second onewas to fabricate samples
possessing a 30% reduction in weight, which is equivalent
to a bulk density 1700 kg/m3; to achieve this, the firing temperature
for each sample was appropriately modified
