Synopsis

This text discusses recent research techniques in the field of microwave processing of engineering materials by utilizing microwave radiation in the form of microwave hybrid heating (MHH). It is useful for industrial and household applications including the joining of materials, casting of bulk metal alloy material, drilling of borosilicate glass materials, development of cladding of different materials for friction, wear, and corrosion.

The book:

• Discusses the development of high-temperature resistant materials using microwave processing
• Covers the latest research development in microwave processing in the field of healthcare i.e. bio-medical implants
• Highlights concepts of microwave heating in joining, cladding, and casting of metallic materials
• Explains mechanisms of failure of materials and protection in a comprehensive manner
• Provide readers the knowledge of microwave processing of materials in major thrust areas of engineering applications

This book extensively highlights the latest advances in the field of microwave processing for engineering materials. It will serve as an ideal reference text for graduate students and academic researchers in the fields of materials science, manufacturing engineering, industrial engineering, mechanical engineering, and production engineering.
