Abstract: A process and equipment for producing a molded article, especially from a carbon molding compound that has been treated with carbon fibers and contains a thermosetting binder, wherein the molded article is hardened by heating in a press mold under pressure. The molded article is heated by itself by electric resistance heating.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for manufacturing a powder metallurgy article comprising two or more individually compacted layers is described. The apparatus includes a number of powder deposition means for depositing powder into at least one die cavity, the number of powder deposition means corresponding to at least the number of different powder compositions in an article being compacted, a die assembly having a female die body which is moveable with respect to a first press ram, a mechanically driven second press ram, means for driving said second press ram, control system means for controlling the relative positions and movements of said female die body, said first press ram, said second mechanically driven press ram and said powder deposition means such that they operate in synchronism, characterised by said control system means including an angle counter having proportional drive means from the press apparatus such that one cycle of the angle counter corresponds to a required number of press compaction strokes.
