3562/JN - Automated Die Powder Filling Machine for Spark Plasma Sintering

The University of Sheffield's Department of Materials Science and Engineering with funding from EPSRC are looking to procure a machine that is capable of filling a graphite die with up to three different powders for subsequent spark plasma sintering (aka field-assisted sintering technology). The internal diameter of the graphite moulds (and subsequent diameter of the post-sintered billets) will range from 20 mm up to 115 mm diameter. Pre-sintered filling thicknesses would range from 0.5 mm to 8 cm. The machine will...
