A Vacuum Hot Press is a high-temperature pressing system used to consolidate powders, composites, ceramics, and metal parts under simultaneous heat and uniaxial pressure, in a vacuum or controlled atmosphere.
How It Works
Powder or compacted material is placed in a die inside the furnace.
The system is evacuated (vacuum pumped) to remove air/gases.
Heat is applied via graphite or molybdenum heating elements.
Uniaxial pressure (vertical) is applied using a hydraulic ram.
Material sintering, bonding, or densification occurs.
Result: A fully dense, high-purity part with controlled microstructure.
