In the realm of advanced material manufacturing, our Gas Pressure Sintering (GPS) plants stand out as a revolutionary solution, redefining the standards of sintering technology. The core strength of our GPS process lies in its meticulously designed sequence, setting it apart from conventional methods.
The GPS process unfolds in a strategic sequence: starting with dewaxing at low pressure, followed by sintering at normal pressure. Once the material reaches a state with only closed pores, the process progresses to high - pressure sintering. This crucial high - pressure stage brings about further densification and accelerates the elimination of remaining pores. As a result, materials produced using our GPS technology consistently exhibit superior mechanical properties, including enhanced hardness, strength, Weibull modulus, and fracture toughness, surpassing those of pore - free materials made through traditional sintering methods.
Our GPS devices are specially engineered to excel in sintering ceramics or metals that pose challenges in standard operations. They are ideal for materials that tend to decompose at elevated temperatures or fail to achieve high densities in conventional sintering processes. What's more, the GPS process breaks free from the shape limitations that plague hot pressing. It also emerges as a highly advantageous alternative to the more costly HIP (Hot Isostatic Pressing) process, offering exceptional results at a more favorable cost - benefit ratio.
For laboratory - level research and production, our laboratory - type GPS plant comes with an optional integrated dilatometer. This advanced feature monitors shrinkage and shrinkage rate throughout the sintering process, providing valuable measured data that is directly utilized for precise process control, ensuring optimal sintering outcomes every time.
Our GPS plants offer a wide range of available volumes, from 1 dm³ to 500 dm³, operating at an impressive 2000°C under a pressure of 10 MPa, with the flexibility of using either N₂ or Ar atmosphere to suit various material requirements.
The applications of our GPS plants are extensive and diverse, enabling the production of:
- Sintered silicon nitride and sialon with excellent mechanical properties, perfect for manufacturing cutting tools, turbocharger rotors, and engine components.
- Silicon carbide, which is highly suitable for mechanically heavy - strained parts in corrosive environments.
- Super alloys, designed for mechanically strained parts in high - temperature applications.
- Hard metals, particularly cemented carbides with low cobalt content and high - quality grades that boast optimum mechanical properties.
- Composite materials in general.
A particularly promising application of our GPS technique is in the production of serial parts made of SSN (Sintered Silicon Nitride) for the automobile industry, meeting the industry's stringent demands for performance and reliability.
In our range of standard furnaces, the Type FP W is a standout. It is resistance heated, operating at 10.0 MPa, ensuring stable and efficient heating for your sintering processes.
