Composite Materials Processing Using Microwave Heating Technology
暫譯: 微波加熱技術在複合材料加工中的應用

本書涵蓋了使用微波加熱技術的複合材料加工和製造的各個方面，以及它們在各種工業過程中的應用。根據所使用的加工方法和材料，複合材料分為三個主要類別：金屬基複合材料（Metal matrix composites, MMCs）、陶瓷基複合材料（Ceramics composites, CMCs）和聚合物基複合材料（Polymer matrix composites, PMCs）。在這些複合材料的製造過程中，傳統的加熱技術是通過電阻線圈將熱量傳遞到材料，這是通過傳統的熱傳遞方式進行的。傳統製造路徑面臨著非均勻的溫度分佈、固化效率低、過程中產生廢料、長加工週期、高能耗和成本等問題，使其成為一個難以選擇的選項。最近，微波輔助加熱作為一種具有成本效益的環保可持續製造過程，已成為製造複合材料的有前景的途徑，並且能夠提高機械性能，這是本書的主要主題。本書探討了微波加熱的機制、顯著特徵和重要方面，以及它們與不同複合材料的相互作用。它還介紹了在鑄造、鑽孔、回收、燒結、材料連接和表面工程等過程中使用微波加熱的其他複合材料製造過程。本書將吸引在複合材料加工和製造領域工作的學生、研究人員和科學家。
