Microwave Sintering

Technology Description

The technology is a device which can produce microwave radiation . It is also a process through which microwaves can be targetted against a specific load of material to sinter of fuse it .

When microwave energy is targetted at a specific material , the material either absorbs , reflects or allows the microwaves to pass through . Microwave radiation causes intense molecular friction within the material depending upon it's dielectric properties or behaviour . This causes the material to intensely heat up within short intervals of exposure to Microwaves . The technology is designed to contain this heat within a cavity or an enclosure within which a material that can efficiently absorb microwaves at room temperature is placed . Along with this material which is popularly known as "Susceptors" the load or the material to be heat treated / sintered or fused is also placed . This briefly summarizes what the technology does.
