Behavior of Microwave Heating of 316 Stainless Steel Green Body

Abstract:

This paper mainly introduces the mechanism of microwave heating: electric conduction loss, eddy current loss and arc discharge. The microwave heating behavior of 316 stainless steel powder body which made by gel casting was investigated in the paper. Experiments on different microwave power, powder particle size, and the content of auxiliary heating material showed that the smaller the powder particle size, the larger microwave power and auxiliary heating materials help 316 stainless steel body for sintering.
