<p>A method of heating a workpiece or workpiece assembly, and a load assembly suitable for heating by the method. The method involves heating the workpiece or workpiece assembly in a microwave cavity surrounded by one or more rings made of electrically conductive material. The rings fix the electrical field in such a way that uniform heating of the workpiece or workpiece assembly can be achieved. Large workpieces or assemblies can be heated and, if sinterable, sintered in this way without the problems normally caused by lack of uniform fields when microwaves are used to heat large loads.</p> |
