HIP Increasingly Used for Upgrading of Casting as Process Becomes More Economical

From Kittyhawk Products
 

 

Since its invention about 45 years ago, hot isostatic processing (HIP) has grown from a laboratory curiosity to an important commercial process of increasing importance to investment casters and to other industries as well.

The HIP process subjects components to the simultaneous application of heat and high pressure in an inert gas medium. The pressure is uniform in all directions or isostatic.

Products & Services
Cold and hot isostatic pressing services apply high pressures and/or temperature to form near net shapes, densify parts, diffusion bond materials, remove internal porosity and improve the integrity of engineering components.
