Book Title: Advances in Microwave Processing for Engineering Materials

Publisher: CRC Press, Taylor and Francis Group, Boca Raton, Florida, United States
FULL FORMATTED CHAPTER SUBMISSION DUE: 15th NOVEMBER, 2021
In the competitive world, there is always a need of efficient, time saving, and environment friendly manufacturing
processes which results in a enhanced productivity with low cost. In this direction, the use of microwaves heating for processing
of materials is gaining popularity because of the inherent features of the microwaves radiation such as significant time saving
associated with uniform heating and more importantly environment friendly process. Microwave processing of materials is
Scope of gaining popularity due to the energy efficient volumetric heating. Recently, the processing of metallic materials using microwave
energy in the form of microwave hybrid heating (MHH) technique has emerged as a popular technique due to the inherent
the Book advantages associated with MHH technique which is not possible with conventional heating of materials. The microwave heating
of materials is different from the conventional heating of materials because there is a conversion of electromagnetic energy into
the heat energy inside the materials depending upon the dielectric properties of the materials being processed. The unique
heating phenomenon resulted in reduced processing time and improved mechanical properties of the microwave processed
materials.
