200°C Heated Hardened 440C Stainless Steel Evacuable Pellet Dies
Includes Evacuable Die Assembly, 200°C Heating Jacket & Temperature Controller
Custom Circular Die Sizes: 3mm up to 1 1/8 inches (larger diameter, customized geometries and dimensions are encouraged and available upon request)
Precision manufactured from hardened 440C stainless steel and includes a main body, a removable base with a vacuum attachment, (2) polished anvils, plunger, (2) vacuum o-rings, extractor ring and operating instructions. The overall assembled height including the die chamber, baseplate, two anvils and plunger but without sample powder is 104mm. The die chamber only dimensions are 50mm height x 45mm outside diameter with each anvil measuring 10mm thickness (two anvils are typically used for pellet fabrication although one anvil could be used for thicker pellet fabrication).
Maximum Load: Dependent Upon Die Size
Optional: Tungsten Carbide Anvils
Optional: Centered Thermocouple Port for a customer supplied thermocouple and independent temperature read out.
Tips
- allow 6mm minimum to locate the die plunger into the die chamber in order to follow the die
chamber wall.
- review of the chamber height to confirm there is adequate height to fabricate a pellet to the desired pellet thickness.
- ensure there sufficient height for the die assembly with sample powder between the top and bottom press rams.
- the evacuable design feature with the use of an
oil-less vacuum pump permits easy installation of anvils and plunger without the vacuum resistance normally associated with non-evacuable dies due to the precision fabrication and tight tolerances to mitigate
flashing of the powdered sample matrix during pellet fabrication.
