Gasbarre Dry Bag Cold Isostatic Press
Gasbarre isostatic presses are optimized for reliable cold dry bag isostatic pressing. Cold isostatic pressing involves the compaction of powders encased in elastomer molds.
Through this process, the mold is placed into a pressure chamber and filled with a room-temperature liquid before the press applies the pressure from all sides, condensing the metal powder. As a result, the powder particles mechanically bond to each other, creating a solid green body. Finally, the liquid is removed and the container expands to its original form so that the product can be retrieved.
There are two types of presses used for cold dry bag isostatic pressing — monostatic isostatic presses with single-cavity structures and densomatic isostatic presses with multi-cavity designs.
