Powder Preparation and Shaping
AssemblyPrecursor powders are weighed on the analytical balance, ground in an agate mortar or the planetary mill and pressed into pellets in a die under the hydraulic press. After firing, the diamond saw and silicon carbide paper shape pellets into flat bars, and the caliper gives the dimensions for resistivity. A full specification article for this item is being written. Meanwhile its bill of materials and connections are below.
