What is Cold Isostatic Pressing Mold Material? 4 Key Elastomers Explained

Cold isostatic pressing (CIP) uses molds made from elastomer materials such as urethane, rubber, or polyvinyl chloride (PVC).

These materials are chosen for their flexibility and low resistance to deformation.

This allows for uniform compression of the powder materials enclosed within them.

What is Cold Isostatic Pressing Mold Material? 4 Key Elastomers Explained

1. Urethane

Urethane is known for its durability and flexibility.

It is suitable for withstanding the high pressures applied during CIP.

Urethane molds can effectively contain and distribute pressure evenly across the powder material.

This ensures uniform compaction.

2. Rubber

Rubber molds are commonly used due to their elasticity and ability to conform to the shape of the compacted material.

This helps in achieving a consistent density throughout the compacted part.

Rubber's resilience allows it to maintain its shape and integrity even under high pressures.

3. Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC)

PVC is another elastomer material used in CIP molds.

It offers good chemical resistance and flexibility, which are essential for the molding process.

PVC molds can be designed to withstand the hydraulic pressures used in CIP.

This ensures the integrity of the mold during the pressing process.

4. Importance of Elastomer Molds in CIP

The use of elastomer molds in CIP is crucial.

These materials can evenly distribute the applied pressure, which is typically very high (ranging from 60,000 lbs/in2 to 150,000 lbs/in2 or 400 MPa to 1000 MPa).

This uniform pressure distribution is necessary to achieve a high-density compact with consistent properties.

However, the flexibility of these molds can lead to lower geometric accuracy in the final product.

This is a limitation of the CIP process.
