CDC Load Cycle

 

  • Fill gas creates pre-load pushing the piston or ram down, pre-compressing and removing entrapped air from the powder
  • An ignition stimulus is applied causing combustion and rapid pressure rise, further compressing the metal powder to its final net shape.
 

 

The process although fast and powerful, is smooth, continuous and makes no sound
