Abstract
Abstract A method for avoiding cracking of the molded body during the decompression step in an isostatic pressing method of molding. The powders to be molded are housed in a shaping rubber mold, are molded under pressure, and the improvement is characterized by supplying forcibly gas between the outer peripheral surface of a molded body or a shaping thin rubber bag where the molded body is housed and the inner peripheral surface of the shaping rubber mold, the gas having a pressure higher than the isostatic pressure applied to the shaping rubber mold at the time when the shaping rubber mold begins to restore to its original state during the decompression step of the method. An apparatus for the said compression molding which is equipped with a specially designed pressure gas inletting device.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
150 words
In a dry type isostatic molding apparatus comprising a rigid cylindrical metallic spacer disposed coaxially inside of a cylindrical high pressure container, said spacer having a plurality of holes in its cylindrical surfaces for allowing pressurized liquid to enter the inside of the spacer, an isostatic liquid chamber being defined between the outer cylindrical surface of said spacer and the inner wall face of said container, a shaping rubber mold disposed coaxially inside said spacer, and lids firmly fixed at the upper and lower parts of said container, said upper and lower lids and said shaping rubber mold defining a sealed molding chamber for housing powders which are formed into a molded body by the apparatus, the improvement wherein said apparatus is provided with means for introducing and supplying pressurized gas between the inner peripheral surface of said shaping rubber mold and the outer peripheral surface of said molded body.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
150 words
