“…In fact, it had been successfully used to process many materials [ 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 ] in different fields recently, such as but not limited to coal, oxide and carbide ceramics, composites, cement and concrete, alloys, fly ash, and even in CO 2 adsorption. Furthermore, MW energy has been used to heat and to sinter metals and their alloys [ 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 ], from the early reported works where MW was used to heat metals to the most recent reported studies where it has been used to join metals and alloys, but its full use needs a comprehensive understanding of MW–material interactions.…”
