Role of sustainable manufacturing approach: microwave processing of materials.

Microwave energy will soon be used in material manufacturing. Microwaves may generate a lot of heat. Through many interactions, microwaves convey electromagnetic energy straight to the material's molecules. Direct molecular interaction transfers electromagnetic energy to materials. Microwaves are increasingly used to process materials because to their time and energy economy, shorter process cycle times, enhanced mechanical characteristics, and reduced environmental dangers. Microwave processing transfers linearly equal electric and magnetic energy between molecules. Microwaves can process several materials. Metal matrix composites, fibre reinforced polymers (FRP), alloys, ceramics, metals, pulverised metallurgy, metal coatings, and metal cladding are examples. This article lists basic microwave properties and briefly discusses the mechanisms that regulate microwave-material interactions. The essay also discusses the systems that control interactions. Microwave heating basics have been covered here. Cladding, coating, and glazing are the main uses of microwave energy in surface engineering. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
