METHOD OF FORMING DENSE CERAMIC BODIES

摘要

A method is disclosed for simultaneously and uniformly densifying a plurality of semidense ceramic powder bodies. The bodies are hinged together with a uniform space therebetween to form a cluster. The spaces in each cluster ace filled with an isostatic pressure medium and then the clusters are stacked in a predetermined alignment along a pressing axis and hot pressed to substantially full density. The bodes are then ruptured from said clusters so as to be in a condition for use as a tool.
