The L9(34) orthogonal design matrix was selected involving four operation specifications; temperature, mechanical milling time, heating rate and time on amorphous SiO2 under carbothermal reduction. The responses were then analysed and evaluated by Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) technique. SiC yield was optimized to the highest when synthesized using amorphous SiO2 with the highest-level setting for temperature (1450°C), milling duration (100 minutes), time (180 minutes) together with the minimum heating rate of 5°C/min and only SiC formation was observed at T1400°C. date: 2017 publisher: EDP Sciences official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85033217103&doi=10.1051%2fmatecconf%2f201713103012&partnerID=40&md5=8692eeae48a33996582d55f48eba41e9 id_number: 10.1051/matecconf/201713103012 full_text_status: none publication: MATEC Web of Conferences volume: 131 refereed: TRUE issn: 2261236X citation: Mohd Sohor, M.A.H. and Mustapha, M. and Mamat, O.
