SPS & Hot Pressing

02 Mar 25
The depicted Spark Plasma Sintering (SPS) system is used for the rapid densification of powders through electrical pulse currents and high pressure. It consists of a sintering chamber, a control cabinet with a touchscreen, and a vacuum and gas unit for process control. The electrodes and punch mechanism enable efficient energy transfer. SPS operates under vacuum or protective gas and allows extremely fast heating, producing dense materials with a fine microstructure. Applications range from high-performance ceramics and hard metals to additively manufactured materials. This industrial-grade system is suitable for research and production, offering precise control with high process speed and energy efficiency.
