Hot Isostatic Pressing

From Kittyhawk Products
 

 

Hot isostatic pressing is a process in which components are subjected to simultaneous application of heat and high pressure in an inert gas medium. Because the pressure is applied by a gas, it 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.
