  • Publication number: 20050097850
    Abstract: A method is described for fastening anchoring means, especially anchor rods, reinforcing iron, etc. in solid substrates by introducing a curable mortar composition and the anchoring means into a borehole provided in the solid substrate and curing the mortar composition, the curing of the mortar composition being initiated or brought about by introducing microwave energy over the anchoring means into the borehole. Furthermore, a device is described for carrying out this method, the device having an adapter unit (1), which can be connected over a coaxial cable or a waveguide (2) with the microwave generator, and a collet chuck (3), for frictionally fixing the adapter unit to the anchoring means (4) and for passing microwave energy into the mortar composition (7) present in the borehole (5) of the solid substrate (6), and a shielding (8), surrounding the collet chuck (3).
