N2 - Microwave heating is recognized for its various advantages, such as: time and energy saving, very rapid heating rates, considerably reduced processing cycle time and temperature, fine microstructures and improved mechanical properties, better product performance, etc. The most recent application of microwaves has been in the field of the sintering of metallic material. The present paper discusses the effect of microwave energy for the processing of tungsten based material such as W-Cu and W-Ni-Cu. This study also compares the effect of microwave and conventional sintering on tungsten based alloys. The present study also includes the microstructure, EPMA, bulk hardness and micro-hardness analysis of the compacts.
