The pilot plant for processing advanced ceramics and powder metallurgy has specific equipment for carrying out all stages of the production processes:

Equipment

• Equipment for processing raw materials (mills, mixers, granulators and atomisers)
• Forming equipment (pressing, casting, powder injection moulding)
• Heat treatment equipment (removal and sintering furnaces up to 2200 ºC in various atmospheres – oxidising, inert, reducing, low/high vacuum)

This equipment is complemented by specific equipment for simultaneous forming and sintering:

• HP (hot press)
• SPS (spark plasma sintering)
• ERS (electrical resistance sintering)

• Development of ceramic and metallic materials
• Definition and optimization of manufacturing process routes
• Prototype and pre-series production
• Microstructural stability studies

Aimed at:

• Companies in any sector looking for ceramic and metal solutions based on alternative materials and processes.
