PROCEDIMIENTO Y APARATO PARA FORMAR CUERPOS A PARTIR DE POL-VOS CERAMICOS

摘要

A pelleting press in which the die has at least a part which is fluid-permeable so that powder in the die can be compressed simultaneously by fluid permeating the die and mechanically from at least one end of the die. It has a particular application in the pelleting of nuclear fuel powders. The die may be of reaction - sintered silicon carbide rendered fluid-permeable by removal of silicon.
