Hot mounting could also be called hot biaxial pressing. It is a process in which a granulated polymeric material is softened, compressed, and cooled down sequentially. The process is carried out in a metallographic hot mounting press, designed for this application.
Of course, this method may only be applied on sufficiently pressure- and temperature-resistant samples with simple geometries. The process is carried out at temperatures of 150 to 200°C, while the pressure depends on the mould diameter and ranges from 100 to 300 bar. After placing the sample on the lower ram, the mounting material is added and the process started.
Hot Mounting Press QPRESS 50
The hot mounting press Qpress 50 is a modular machine used in metallography for the fast, simultaneous and independent mounting of different materialographic specimens. The modularity of the Qpress 50 allows adjusting the machine configuration for varying sample sizes and throughputs, depending on customer requirements. The base unit of the hot mounting press contains control interface and one mold assembly. It is available in 2 versions:
Qpress 50-2: can be equipped with one additional pressing station (total up to 2)
Qpress 50-4: can be equipped with up to three additional pressing stations (total up to 4)
Main features
Hot Mounting Press QPRESS 40
The QPRESS 40 is a robust and reliable hot mounting press, designed for extremely fast mounting processes. Thanks to advanced heating/cooling technology and optimized temperature control, the overall mounting time is significantly reduced - up to 35%. The robust bayonet-type shutter, the optional simple one-button operation, as well as the clear display of parameters via the 7" industrial touch screen ensure comfortable and intuitive use. The optional and patented Dust Guard suction system sets new standards in operator safety by preventing the inhalation of fine dust when filling the die.
