Abstract
This chapter provides an overview of microwave sintering of ceramics, metals and composites including some of the latest developments in the field. The chapter first introduces microwave heating and how it is different from conventional sintering. The chapter then discusses the results of microwave sintering of some important ceramics, composites and metals such as alumina, zirconia, electroceramics, transparent ceramics, high-temperature ceramic eutectics, metal–ceramic composites, and finally metal powders and carbon nano tubes. The chapter also discusses some proposed mechanisms of explaining the microwave–matter interactions.
