A magnetron is a device that uses the interaction of a stream of electrons, guided by a magnetic field, with cavities within a block of copper to produce microwave radiation. The frequency range of the radiation depends on the size of the cavities. The devices are used in radar, and microwave ovens, where the radiation causes the molecules in food — particularly water molecules — to vibrate, leading to a rapid rise in temperature that is sufficient to cook the food.

The key players of Cathodes for Magnetron include Midea and Galanz. The top two manufacturers hold approximately 59% of the global market share, with Galanz being the largest manufacturer with approximately 32% of the market share.
