Definition:
The process of heating poor conductors of electricity (dielectrics) by- means of high-frequency electrical currents. The thermoplastic composite to be heated forms the dielectric of a condenser to which is applied a high-frequency (20-to-80 mc) voltage. The heat is developed within the material rather than being brought to it from the outside, and hence the material is heated more uniformly throughout. Also known as ELECTRONIC HEATING, RF HEATING, RADIO FREQUENCY HEATING, HIGH-FREQUENCY HEATING. See also MICROWAVE PROCESSING.
