An apparatus was designed and constructed to facilitate the joining of ceramics in a microwave field. The microwave unit used is a modified Goldstar MA-1172M household microwave oven. The maximum load that can be applied is 2.24 kN. Temperature can be monitored with either a shielded type R thermocouple or an optical pyrometer. Measurements of the temperature and applied load are collected remotely.
