TL;DR: In this paper, most of the significant phenomena that cause heating during microwave-material interaction and heat transfer during microwave energy absorption in materials are discussed. But, the mechanisms associated with the processing are less understood; popular mechanisms such as dipolar heating and conduction heating have been mostly explored.

TL;DR: In this article, the main focused aim of developing new processing and manufacturing technologies are to reduce production or manufacturing costs, processing times, and to enhance manufactured product properties, and the developed processing techniques should be widely acceptable for all types of materials including metal matrix composites, ceramics, alloys, and fiber reinforced plastics.

TL;DR: A summary of fundamental aspects of microwave processing of metal-based materials and their interaction with metallic materials can be found in this article, where the processing challenges have been surveyed; developments in terms of techniques and tooling have been analyzed.

TL;DR: In this article, a novel method for joining of bulk metallic materials through microwave heating is described, where a sandwich layer of copper powder with approximately 0.5mm thickness was introduced between the two candidate surfaces.

TL;DR: In this paper, microwave cladding was explored as a new processing method for enhancement of surface properties of austenitic stainless steel (SS-316) using microwave radiation as the heating source.
