Abstract

This paper presents a process developed at Quest Research Corporation for using microwave energy to join ceramics. It begins with a brief overview of the concept and a recent history of microwave ceramic processing. A mathematical treatment of the microwave heating process then is presented followed by a description of the joining technique, and a summary of the experimental results and joint characterizations. For one set of ceramic samples used, electron microscopy and fracture toughness and hardness measurements were made at the Naval Research Laboratory. Another set of sample material was provided by Coors and photomicrographic evaluations of joints produced by Quest using these samples were performed by Coors.
