The invention relates to a process for producing a molding, comprising a disk-like or plate-like basic body -5- having a large number of knob-like and/or web-like elevations -4-3- which merge into the basic body -5- with inclined side surfaces, by means of pressing and sintering powdery raw material

The invention relates to a process for producing a molding, comprising a disk-like or plate-like basic body -5- having a large number of knob-like and/or web-like elevations -4-3- which merge into the basic body -5- with inclined side surfaces, by means of pressing and sintering powdery raw materials close to the final shape. According to the invention, the pressing is carried out in a two-stage pressing operation. In the first stage the boundary surfaces of the basic body -5- are pressed to at least the approximate final shape as far as the transition regions of the elevations -3-4- and, at the same time, the elevations -3-4- are pressed to an oversize. The projection h′ of the elevations -3-4- from the basic body -5- is greater by 10%-150% as compared with the projection h from the basic body -5- in the finally pressed state. Their side surfaces form an angle of inclination α′ in the range from 90°-150° with the respectively adjacent boundary surface of the basic body -5-. In the second stage, the elevations -3-4- are pressed to at least approximately the final shape, the angle of inclination α′ being enlarged to a value α which lies in the range from 95°-170°.

1. A process for producing a molding with a basic body having a multiplicity of elevations merging into the basic body with inclined side surfaces, the method which comprises the following steps: providing a powdery alloy having at least 20% by weight of chromium component and pressing the powdery alloy in a two-stage pressing operation with a first pressing stage and a second pressing stage; andin the first pressing stage, pressing boundary surfaces of the basic body to near final shape as far as transition regions of the elevations and simultaneously pressing the elevations to an oversize, defined with a projection height h′ from the basic body being greater than a projection height h from the basic body in a finally pressed state by 10%-150%, and with side surfaces of the elevations enclosing an angle of inclination α′ in a range from 90°-150° with a respectively adjacent boundary surface of the basic body, andin the second pressing stage, pressing the elevations to near final shape, with the angle of inclination α′ increased to a value α in a range from 95°-170°; andsubsequently sintering the basic body to produce the molding. 2. The process according to claim 1, which comprises forming the basic body as a disk-shaped or plate-shaped basic body, and forming the elevations as knob-shaped and/or web-shaped elevations. 3. The process according to claim 1, which comprises forming the projection height h′ by 30%-100% greater than the final projection height h in the finally pressed state. 4. The process according to claim 1, which comprises forming the angle of inclination α′ within a range from 110° to 130°, and forming the angle of inclination α within a range from 115° to 160°. 5. The process according to claim 1, which comprises pre-sintering subsequently to the first pressing stage. 6. The process according to claim 1, wherein the alloy contains the chromium component, an iron component, and one or more additional metallic and/or ceramic alloy components of a total of at most 40% by weight, and which comprises introducing the additional alloy components into the powdery raw materials as a pre-alloy with at least one of chromium and iron. 7. The process according to claim 1, which comprises forming the molding as an interconnector of a fuel cell. 8. A process for producing a molding with a basic body having a multiplicity of elevations merging into the basic body with inclined side surfaces, the method which comprises the following steps: providing a powdery alloy having at least 20% by weight of chromium component and pressing the powdery alloy in a two-stage pressing operation with a first pressing stage and a subsequent, second pressing stage; andin the first pressing stage, pressing boundary surfaces of the basic body to near final shape as far as transition regions of the elevations and simultaneously pressing the elevations to an oversize, wherein the oversize of the elevations resulting from the first pressing stage is defined with: a projection height h′ from the basic body greater than a projection height h from the basic body in a finally pressed state by 10%-150%; andside surfaces of the elevations enclosing an angle of inclination α′ between 90° and 150° with a respectively adjacent boundary surface of the basic body;in the second pressing stage, pressing the elevations to near final shape, by reducing the height of the elevations from the height h′ to the height h and by increasing the angle of inclination α′ to a value α in a range from 95°-170°; andsubsequently sintering the basic body to produce the molding.
