First, a molded body made by applying pressure to a fine powder of a valve metal such as tantalum and molding it into an arbitrary shape is placed on a trolley and conveyed at a constant speed by conveying rollers. Then, each tank is allowed to stay for a certain period of time, but the staying time in the first dewaxing tank 1, second dewaxing tank 2, first sintering tank 3, and rear tank 7 is the same, and the second sintering tank 4 is the same. /2 and the first cooling tank 5 and second cooling tank 6 are twice that amount. That is, the trolley carrying the molded body is first carried into the first dewaxing tank 1 and remains there for a certain period of time to remove wax from the molded body. Next, the cart is carried into the second dewaxing tank 2, and the remaining wax is removed. After removing the wax, the cart is carried into the first sintering tank 3 and the compact is sintered. After sintering in the first sintering tank 3, as shown in FIG.
2 is carried into the second sintering tank 4. When the cart 32 is carried into the second sintering tank 4, as shown in FIG.
The elevator 33 rises and transports the trolley 32 to the soaking room 29.
carry it up to After sintering, the elevator 33 descends and places the cart 32 on the transport rollers 30. When the trolley 32 is placed on the transport roller 30, it is carried into the next first cooling tank 5. Even if the cart 32 is carried out from the second sintering tank 4, the sintering time during this period is approximately 1/2 of the sintering time in the first sintering tank 3.
Therefore, the next cart has not yet been carried into the second sintering tank 4. During this time, the shield mechanism 34 operates within the second sintering tank 4. That is, when the cart 32 is completely transferred from the second sintering tank 4, the cylinder 35 extends and carries the heat insulation shielding cart 37 to just below the soaking chamber 29, as shown in FIG. When the trolley 37 comes directly under the soaking room 29, the elevator 3
3 pushes up the heat-insulating shield trolley 37 to the soaking chamber 29 through the hole in the stand, so that the soaking chamber 29 is covered with the trolley 37. Therefore, soaking room 2
9 is shielded and is not directly transmitted to other parts of the second sintering tank 4. After a predetermined period of time has elapsed, the elevator 33 descends and places the trolley 37 on the platform 36, and the cylinder 35 moves back and the trolley 37 is placed on top of the platform 36.
and bring it back to its original position (Figure 2). Trolley 37
When it returns to its original position, the cart 37 carrying the next compact is carried from the first sintering tank 3 to the second sintering tank 3, and the same operation is repeated thereafter. In the first cooling tank 5, the molded body is vacuum cooled. After vacuum cooling, the molded body is carried into the second cooling tank 5 and cooled with gas. After cooling with gas, the cart is carried into the rear tank 7. The rear tank 7 is initially kept at a low pressure, and after the cart is brought in, it is brought to normal temperature and pressure, and in this state the molded bodies are carried out together with the cart.

That is, according to the above embodiment, the second sintering tank 4
A shield mechanism 34 is provided in the heating chamber 29.
Since the lid can be covered by 7, the heat in the soaking chamber 29 is prevented from being directly transmitted to other parts of the second sintering tank 4 even when the trolley 32 carrying the compact is not carried in. Therefore, the life of the tank 4 can be improved. Further, since there is no need to use a method of increasing or decreasing the temperature of the soaking chamber 29, the life of the heater 27 can be improved.
