A review on different types of material joints fabricated by microwave hybrid heating method

Abstract In this paper, literature review on similar and dissimilar joints through microwave hybrid heating has been discussed briefly. A lot of restrictions of the conventional joining methods can be eliminated through microwave hybrid heating joining technique. Microwave hybrid heating also has one more advantage over other conventional processes that it is environment friendly and has good prospects of being adopted in industrial automation. This study discusses impact of different factors on properties of joints formed by microwave hybrid heating. Present study will also give directions to researchers about existing problems and future scope of this joining technique.
