Abstract

A molding apparatus for the hot pressing of parts made of refractory material includes at least one element, such as a mold or an intermediate element, which is formed by a material capable of withstanding high temperatures, having adequate mechanical resistance and possessing particular anisotropic properties of thermal conductivity, in particular as a result of a structure including thermally conductive fibers oriented so that a preferential heat transfer occurs towards the areas of the part which are furthest away from its edges of the part, ensuring homogeneous heating or cooling throughout the part at all times.
