Abstract :
The high power millimeter-wave beams generated by CW gyrotrons represent a promising energy source for rapid, high-temperature processing of materials. We are investigating the heating of ceramic tubes and cylinders using an 83 GHz beam for joining and sintering applications. In this presentation we analyze the scattering and absorption of a millimeter-wave beam by a rotating ceramic cylinder and calculate the temperature profile.
