Joining of ceramic tubes using a high-power 83-GHz Millimeter-wave beam

High purity, high density alumina tubes have been successfully joined using a high-power millimeter-wave beam. This technique exploits the use of the beam-forming capability of an 83-GHz gyrotron-based system allowing the deposition of energy into a narrow region surrounding the joint area with mini...
