The hot-pressing systems available at MBN allow the simultaneous application of uniaxial pressure and high temperature to densify powder materials in a controlled atmosphere. This technique combines sintering and shaping in a single step, significantly enhancing densification kinetics while limiting grain growth and preserving the microstructure. Our equipment supports current-assisted hot pressing (also known as SPS/FAST), offering precise control over heating rates, holding times, and applied load. This enables the production of high-density components with fine microstructures and tailored mechanical, electrical, or magnetic properties—particularly suitable for hard metals, refractory materials, intermetallics, and advanced steels. Hot pressing is ideal for prototypes where conventional sintering falls short in achieving the required density or dimensional stability.
