50 mm (~2 inch) pellet die sets are commonly used for pellet preparation for XRF which require larger surface area compared to other techniques and for thin film research for making sputtering targets and pulsed laser deposition targets. These wider diameter dies can take large loads through them - 60 tons which is beyond the limit of most lab presses. You do not need to get to such high forces though for great pellets.

This die is made of hardened tool steelĀ (Rockwell hardness >C60)Ā for long lasting trouble free performance. The sleeve is polished to high tolerances to allow the hardened tool steel plunger to slide through perfectly.Ā Plunger and spacers are made from high yield strength steel, machined and polished to high tolerance for the perfect fit.Ā Interior surfaces ground to mirror-likeĀ finish.
