The Use of 'Self Heating' Ceramics as Crucibles for Microwave Melting Metals and Nuclear Waste Glass,

Abstract

Silicon carbide (SiC) crucibles were used to melt aluminum and copper in conventional and tuned microwave cavities at a microwave frequency of 2450 MHz. SiC crucibles were also used to vitrify and homogenize mixtures of nuclear waste and glass frit.
