“…Once microwaves are absorbed, metallic materials get heated uniformly at molecular level, irrespective of the material volume. Certain works have been reported regarding melting and casting of metallic materials through MHH [23][24][25][26][27][28]. Further, it has been reported that microwave processing results in enhanced mechanical properties of the processed material [29][30][31].…”

Material deterioration caused during service life led to the development of erosive/corrosive resistant materials. The present work focuses on characterization of an alloy, naval brass, developed by microwave hybrid heating method, which is a vital material used in ship building/ marine industry. Mechanism of melting of metals by microwave hybrid heating technique is presented in the article. Microstructural study reveals formation of alpha and beta phases, with negligible porosity. X-Ray Diffraction study reveals the presence of CuZn phase in the developed alloy. Further, tensile and microhardness characteristics of the cast alloy holds good with the properties that must be exhibited by the specified standard material.

Foundry industries aim at reducing energy consumption in processing of materials. Continuous efforts are ongoing to exploit unconventional energy sources such as microwave energy to overcome drawbacks of conventional sources. In the present work, a comparative study of electrical energy consumption during melting of known quantity of metallic material in microwave oven and in conventional muffle electric furnace is carried out. The non-ferrous bulk metallic materials such as tin, zinc, aluminum and brass are used as candidate materials. A 900-W modified domestic microwave oven, operating at 2.45 GHz and a conventional muffle furnace are used for the study. The electrical energy consumed for melting of known quantity of metallic materials is presented along with the observed material wastage during melting process. The study shows that microwave oven consumes significantly lesser time than the conventional muffle electric furnace for the melting of known quantity of candidate materials. It is found that melting bulk metallic materials by microwave irradiation reduces electrical energy consumption than that of conventional melting process. In addition, material wastage is around twofold lesser by microwave melting process than the conventional melting process for the known quantity of candidate materials.
