The powder dry-pressing molding device includes a rack, the rack is provided with an first pressure mechanism, a workbench mechanism and a second pressure mechanism in sequence along an up-and-down direction, and one side of the workbench mechanism is provided with a scraping mechanism; the first pressure mechanism includes an upper slide block capable of moving up and down, and an upper punch is disposed at a bottom of the upper slide block; the workbench mechanism includes a middle mold seat, a workbench is fixed above the middle mold seat, a middle mold is disposed inside the middle mold seat, and a mandrel runs through the inside of the middle mold; the second pressure mechanism includes a lower slide block capable of moving up and down, a lower punch is fixed at the top end of the lower slide block, and the lower punch is capable of extending into a compacting space between the mandrel and the middle mold; and the scraping mechanism includes a pusher connected with a scraping driving mechanism and capable of moving along the workbench, the pusher is provided with a feeding channel capable of being communicated with the compacting space, and the feeding channel is capable of being communicated with a barrel disposed on the rack. The dry-pressing molding device of the present invention has a high degree of automation, can scrape the powder, and has a good processing effect.

A method for producing a green compact uses a pressing tool including a die, a first punch to be displaced in an axial direction, a second punch to be displaced in a radial direction through a channel in the die and a receptacle having a filling opening. The method includes locating the second punch before or during filling of a powdery material into the receptacle so as to be outwardly offset in the radial direction relative to an inner peripheral surface, filling the powdery material into the receptacle, and moving at least the first punch and the second punch and compressing the material in the receptacle, with the second punch being moved in the radial direction toward the receptacle only so far that it is disposed flush with a region of the inner peripheral surface. A pressing tool, a green compact and a sintered part are also provided.

Various embodiments of the disclosure provide methods using spark plasma sintering (SPS) at moderate temperatures and moderate pressures to fabricate high-density graphite material. The moderate temperatures may be temperatures not exceeding about 1200° C. The moderate pressures may be pressures not exceeding about 300 MPa. The high density exhibited by the resulting, sintered, high-density graphite material may be greater than about 1.75 g/cm.sup.3 (e.g., greater than about 2.0 g/cm.sup.3).
