Microwave Heating for Industrial Furnances

industry? what kinds of industry? you will not use it if the object has matel, because the matel will shield the microwave.

if you hope to make a oven, at first you have to buy a magnetron ,then make a resonance cell to recept this microwave.

how much power?

Thanks for answer. The material to be fired will be ceramic materials and the weight of each batch will be 50 kgs.

Hi,

microwave wavelength is near 10cm, to be divided by dielectric constant.

So this will be somewhere between 2 mm (unlikely, only if TiO2 is in the ceramic) and 5cm inside your material.

This will result in considerable non-uniformity of power-distribution.

Go up in frequency: too expensive unless you are able to modify a high power radar or military ECM-system.

Move your parts around so heating is averaged: few problems but at high temperature?

There are some people who use this for metal heating to braze or melt. (1200+°C)

Anybody who knows how to do this?

The simple concept of impedance matching is not working with microwaves.(?)

So what to do?
