Applications of Cold Isostatic Pressing

Applications of Cold Isostatic Pressing

Cold isostatic pressing is used for producing semifinished (billetspreforms) as well as near net shapes. Metallic filters made from bronze,brassstainless steelInconelHastelloy,Monel titanium, high speed tools,tungsten carbide tool bits and parts with complicated shapes as well as threaded bushings can besuccessfully fabricated byCold Isostatic Pressing followed by sintering.Cold Isostatic Pressing is widely used for pressing of ceramic parts such as sparks plugs and insulators.

Wet bag pressing units are used for larger and complex partswhich are needed in smaller quantities. The process is flexible and can process various sizes and moderately complex shapes chief limitation being the volume of the pressure vessel.Dry bag process is used for smaller parts such as tubes, rods and nozzles.
