ABSTRACT:
A method for joining together two ceramic items involves the steps of applying microwave radiation to the ceramic items, simultaneously applying compressive forces to the ceramic items in order to force such ceramic items together, and continually monitoring the joint being formed between the two ceramic items. An apparatus of three elements carries out the method. These elements are a single mode microwave applicator; a compressive force applicator; and a nondestructive evaluator for monitoring the formation of the joint.
