Investigations on Physical and Mechanical Characterization of the Joints Fabricated through Microwave Hybrid Heating Method

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper presents the current major research developments and growths in the area of microwave hybrid heating-based joining of similar and dissimilar materials. The study discusses on the different types of specimen materials, susceptor materials, fillers and microwave power level used by researchers for joining process. Comparative studies of joints using different parametric conditions are also mentioned. Physical characterization of joint has been investigated with optical microscope, scanning electron microscope, energy dispersive spectroscopy, electron probe micro analysis, X-ray diffraction and mechanically with hardness test, tensile test, 3-point bend test, impact test. Various methods for design of experiment and optimization are also used to obtain better results. Current study will facilitate the proper choice of input parameters for easy and good joints formation through the microwave hybrid heating method.
