Hot Isostatic Presses (HIP)

 

 

Hot isostatic presses (HIP) use an atmosphere of argon or other gas mixtures that are heated up to 3000º F and pressurized up to 100,000 psi. Evacuated steel or metal cans, or sintered surfaces are used to contain and maintain a seal during hot isostatic pressing (HIPing). Hot isostatic presses (HIP) are used for densifying high-performance ceramics, ferrites and cemented carbides; net-shape forming of nickel-base superalloy and titanium powders; compacting high-speed tool steel; diffusion bonding of similar and dissimilar materials; and eliminating voids in aerospace castings or creep-damaged blades.


Products & 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.

Isostatic presses are used for compressing powdered materials into shaped pre-forms or general products. There are two main types of isostatic presses; cold isostatic presses (CIP) that function at room temperature and hot isostatic presses (HIP) that function at elevated temperatures.
