I'm having manumaster comeercial microwave oven with 1.1kW power and 2.45 GHz Frequency.
I want to convert it into sintering furnace and for the same i have managed tooling requirements like casket made up of alumina, Graphite susceptor and graphite crusible.
But by doing it the microwaves are not concentrated on that lumped metal region and only 50 degree centigrade temperature rises observes so kindly guide me foe the same
Dear Shruti
In Microwave oven the main part is magnetron. It only releases the electromagnetic waves into the oven. Once you remove this to set as normal sintering furnace, nothing will get from that. What is the purpose of that from your question.
By adding some extra parts....the microwave oven can be used as a microwave furnace.
I have been published some papers on this. Please go through those papers. Maybe you will get some useful information regarding your question.
Wish you good luck.
Do not kill yourself. Modification of microwave oven could be dangerous for health.
