Density, shrinkage, and weight loss after sintering for both T-SiC and C-SiC samples are reported in Table 2 (T.D. = 3.24 g/cm3). As it can be seen, sintered density of T-SiC powder is identical to that of the commercial SiC powder. The higher shrinkage obtained for T-SiC is essentially due to the lower green density. Furthermore,
