Abstract

Thegrowth in the field of engineering and technologies led the industries to find new and improved processes that can meet their demand and able to process wide range of materials including metals, non-metals,composites and ceramics.The newlydevelopedtechniques needto reduce the processing cost, enhance the production rateand improve the micro structuraland mechanical properties.Microwavematerial processing isemerging as one of promising sustainable process in manufacturing industries. The microwave energy can be used for material joining, cladding, coatings etc. The microwave processing is economical and materials processed have better mechanical properties with lesser defects than the conventional methods.In this review paper, the recent published work on microwave joining isbriefly summarized.
