Gyrotron Beam Processes

Applications

Firing

Firing (sintering) Ceramics The use of microwave energy for ceramic sintering offers exciting new possibilities for material processing. Compared to using conventional heat sources including industrial microwave (2.45GHz), using the Gyrotron Beam results in: Accelerated densification rate   Higher microstructure uniformity throughout the part   Elimination of auxiliary heaters   Controlled grain growth   Elimination of using sintering aids   Option of creating core temperatures higher than surface   Savings on energy use and processing time (3-5 times)
