Advanced Cold Isostatic Pressing Solutions by KINTEK

Cold Isostatic Pressing (CIP) is a versatile technology that applies uniform pressure to materials at room temperature, using liquid as the pressure medium and rubber or plastic molds. This process is based on Pascal’s law, ensuring equal pressure distribution for consistent results.

Key Features and Benefits

  1. Uniform Density and Strength: CIP produces materials with uniform density, reducing internal stresses and eliminating defects like cracks and laminations. This results in higher 'green strength,' allowing for complex shapes and better machinability.

  2. High-Pressure Capabilities: Our CIP machines can apply pressures ranging from 100-630MPa, making them suitable for advanced applications such as solid-state battery production, including garnet-based electrolytes and all-solid-state batteries.

  3. Cost-Effective Production: CIP is ideal for large or complex compacts where traditional pressing dies are cost-prohibitive. The dry bag design reduces electricity costs and raw material waste, offering an eco-friendly solution.

  4. Wide Application Range: From ceramics and graphite to pharmaceuticals and electronics, CIP is used for consolidating powders, compressing advanced ceramics, and more. Materials like silicon nitride, silicon carbide, and titanium boride benefit from this technology.

FAQ

What Is Cold Isostatic Pressing (CIP)?

Cold Isostatic Pressing (CIP) is a process used to compact and mold powders and other materials into a desired shape by applying hydrostatic pressure at room temperature. The process is performed using a flexible mold, typically made of rubber or plastic, that is filled with a liquid pressure medium such as water, oil, or a specialized fluid.

What Are The Advantages Of Cold Isostatic Pressing?

  • High green strength: Machining of the compacted material in its green state becomes more feasible.
  • Materials that are hard to press: Isostatic pressing can be performed on powders without the need for water, lubricants, or binders, making it applicable to a wider range of materials.
  • Predictable shrinkage during sintering is achieved due to the high compaction and uniform density.
  • Time and cost savings in post-processing are possible due to the ability to create large, complex, and near-net shapes.
  • Large aspect ratio parts with uniform density can be produced, resulting in improved quality.
  • Green strength enables efficient in-process handling and treatment, reducing production costs.

What Is A Cold Isostatic Press?

A cold isostatic press (CIP) is a machine used to compact and mold powders and other materials into a desired shape.

The process works by filling a flexible mold, usually made of rubber or plastic, with a liquid pressure medium like water, oil, or a specialized fluid. This mold is then placed in a closed container, and equal pressure is applied to each surface to achieve a high-pressure environment.

The pressure results in an increase in the product's density and allows it to take on the desired shape.

Cold isostatic pressing is performed at room temperature, in contrast to hot isostatic pressing which is carried out at higher temperatures.

Application Field Of Cold Isostatic Press?

Cold Isostatic Pressing is widely used for various applications, including the consolidation of ceramic powders, compression of graphite, refractory materials, and electrical insulators, as well as the production of fine ceramics for dental and medical applications.

This technology is also making inroads into new fields such as pressing sputtering targets, coating valve parts in engines to reduce wear on cylinder heads, telecommunications, electronics, aerospace, and automotive industries.

What Are The Wearing Parts Of Cold Isostatic Pressing Equipment?

The wearing parts of cold isostatic equipment are mainly various seals, such as various types of seal rings, valve cores and valve seats.

Do You Provide Matching Cold Isostatic Press Molds?

We offer a variety of standard mold shapes for customers to experiment or validate their process. Custom mold design services are also available upon request.
