Abstract

Molding apparatus, particularly for mounting specimens for microstructural analysis. A ramhead pressurizes a molding chamber, with the pressure, temperature and time of the cycle being set into the system from a control panel and proceeding automatically. The ramhead is advanced through a hydraulic system. A spring is provided for mounting the tubular molding chamber to permit the molding chamber to spontaneously align with the advancing ramhead. A wrench member is provided as an integral part of the apparatus to rotationally lock the handle to the molding chamber, to permit rotation of the molding chamber through the handle for removal thereof when desired.
