POWDER CONSOLIDATION

We offer a complete range of powder consolidation services from raw materials to finished parts of the required density and material properties.

Equipment for atmospheric, inert gas, or vacuum material handling for every step of the process.

3D CAD/CAM modeling, design capability, and CNC machining equipment allow us to create canisters for any application.

Prepack pressing equipment from 0.25″ to 12″ diameter.

Packed powder that is reactive or prone to rapid oxidization can be welded into the can in an isolation chamber.

Controlled thermal degassing under vacuum and/or inert gas.

Custom vacuum-tight crimping and welding capability.

2 Unique Sensor systems available to monitor the densification process in real-time

• HIP – HiTECS, high temperature eddy current sensor.
• CIP / WIP – bouyancy sensor.

In-house equipment is used to separate the can from the consolidated material so that it can then be machined to the required dimensions within alotted tolerance.
It also allows us to machine whatever can parts are required throughout the powder consolidation process.

Proprietary processes allow us to create fully-dense materials in geometries that are not reproducible through standard machining operations and from materials not compatible with lost-wax or other foundry/casting processes.

If you have any powder consolidation requirements, let us help you meet them.
