Cautions     Pic 1  Pic 2	Please must always wear protective goggles during operation !!! The pressing die cannot be used for pressing powder with a particle size of < 30 microns. Small particles may slip into the gap between the pushing rod and steel sleeve and cause damages to the sleeve during the compression. Ball mill and sieve the powder and apply only the 32~75 microns powder to the pressing die to avoid damages. Please consider using the 3'' Dia. Sieve Set No.200&450 Mesh to separate the 32~75 microns particles from the powder clumps. Please clean the mold via ethanol after the completion of each experiment. ( Pic. 1) You may use BN coating as mold release (Pic 2) Please use alcohol to clean the pressing die every time before use and store it in a dry place.
