Apparatus for compressing a stack of juxtaposed foils

摘要

A sintering press for comprising a stack of foils is formed of a lower die, an upper die opposing the lower die and a furnance surrounding the dies. At least one of the two dies is supported at its end face remote from the other die by a spherical bearing surface so that this die can adjust itself by tilting so that the center lines of the two dies are no longer in line with each other. As a result, a uniform pressure distribution is obtained on the stack of foils.
