Abstarct: In this thesis, KMS92 alumina powder and rubber isostatic pressing process (RIP) are used to shape the ceramic cone piece. The RIP method is an economical alternative to cold isostatic pressing (CIP). The design of the mold, especially the geometry of the rubber, to achieve a raw piece with a uniform density and a geometry close to the design, is one of the important goals of this research. For this purpose, the RIP process for the target part was simulated using the finite element method. For ceramic powder, the modified Drucker-PragerCop behavioral model was used. The parameters of this model were extracted by artificial neural network method. Uniaxial compression test was used to determine rubber properties. In the following, assuming the incompressibility of rubber, the Money-Rivlin function was used to express its mechanical behavior. Then, the necessary simulations were done to design the appropriate geometry of the mold. In a process of trial and error, the optimal rubber geometry was obtained. Then, the shaping tool was designed and built. Hardened steel was used for the hole and mandrel. The rubber part of the mold was made of silicone by casting method. The ceramic conical piece was shaped by RIP method. The ceramic raw piece closely conforms to the design geometry. The uniformity of the shrinkage created in the sintering showed that the raw piece has a uniform density. This result is in accordance with the results of finite element simulation. After the initial machining of the raw part, and its baking, to reach the final dimensions, the desired part was ground. The results show that relatively complex parts can be successfully shaped by RIP method economically and only by using a uniaxial press.
