Susceptor

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A susceptor is a material used for its ability to absorb electromagnetic energy. This energy is typically radiofrequency or microwave radiation used in industrial heating processes, and also occasionally in microwave cooking. The name is derived from susceptance, an electrical property of materials that measures their tendency to convert electromagnetic energy to heat.

Susceptors are usually made of ceramics or metals (typically aluminum flakes) or both.
