Hot pressing is an innovative manufacturing process in which elevated temperatures and mechanical pressure are combined to compact metallic or ceramic powders using sintering technology or to join materials. Dense, homogeneous components with excellent mechanical and thermal properties can be produced by adjusting the temperature and pressure. This makes the hot pressing system suitable for material development and production in numerous industries, such as the aerospace industry, electronics or medical engineering. The hot press is currently also used for the production of high-density and high-purity sputter targets, which could not be produced in this way using melting metallurgy.
If you have any questions about the hot pressing system or need support with your processes, we are always available to help. Please do not hesitate to contact us – together we will find the right solution for every problem!
