Hot Isostatic Processing in the 21st Century

From Kittyhawk Products
 

 

Hot Isostatic Processing (HIP) is fast becoming an industry standard. Due to increasingly complex specification, higher demands on quality and lowing HIP costs, hot isostatic processing has matured to a stage where it is universally recognized and is used on an industrial scale. It is now used in the aerospace, commercial, military, medical, automotive, and recreational industries. Education in the application and benefits of hot isostatic processing is essential for further development.

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.

Cladding and hardfacing services apply a thick layer of a metal or alloy to the surface of a base alloy to rebuild or repair the surface, or to impart special characteristics. Search by Specification | Learn more about Cladding and Hardfacing Services
Heat treating services perform thermal treatments to modify the properties of metals and metal alloys. Common processes include annealing, austempering, case hardening, conventional hardening, homogenizing, hot isostatic pressing (HIP), martempering, normalizing, precipitation hardening, shot peening, solution treating, spheroidizing, stabilizing, and stress relieving.
