Hot Press Furnace

This furnace combines uniaxial pressure with high temperature (around 1200°C) to sinter powder materials. The working principle involves placing powder in a die between two punches inside a heated chamber. Pressure is applied hydraulically as the material sinters, enhancing densification at lower temperatures than pressureless sintering. Its purpose is to fabricate dense, often complex-shaped parts from hard-to-sinter materials like carbides, diamond composites, and some advanced ceramics. It is key in producing cutting tools, armor plates, and specialized wear components.
