= Microwave welding
{wiki=Microwave_welding}
Microwave welding is a specialized welding process that uses microwave energy to heat and join materials, typically thermoplastics, by molecular agitation. The process works by exposing the materials to microwave radiation, which causes polar molecules (like water) within the material to rapidly rotate and generate heat. This localized heating allows for the melting of the thermoplastic material at the joint interface, leading to a strong bond once the materials cool down and solidify.
