The Development of the Microwave Assisted Rock Breaking Device

Article Preview

Abstract:

Microwave crag broken is a thermal assisted rock breaking method which could melt rocks. Microwave assisted rock breaking method will not bring new impact, wear and tear, instead, the microwave pretreatment on the rock reduces the difficulty of breaking rock and prolongs the service life of the drill bit. This microwave generator accumulates the microwave near the hot spot to soften and melt the rock through generating and transmitting the microwave. And we had experimented with the microwave generator to penetrate the wood, and weaken the strength of the rock. And the experiment proved the scheme of the microwave assisted rock breaking through microwave near field energy and the thermal runaway effect is feasible.
