PURPOSE: To provide a melting, pressurizing test device for metallic material which can also be applied to sample of low melting point or high melting point and sample of high reacting characteristic, and further intrusion.solidification of molten samples in a pressurizing rod can be prevented.

CONSTITUTION: There are provided a hollow cylindrical cartridge 3 heated at a vacuum heating furnace 2, a hollow cylindrical crucible 4 inserted into the cartridge, having one end opened and for storing metallic material 1, a cylindrical pressing plate 5 inserted into the crucible, closing the opening of the crucible and pressurizing the metallic material inwardly, and a pressurizing rod 6 for moving the pressing plate along an axis of the cartridge. One end of the cartridge is provided with an opening part 10 through which the pressurizing rod passes and a main seal plate 16 having a plurality of heat-resistant metallic foils piled up is held between the opening and the opening end of the crucible.
