HIP Near Net Shape
Complex structures can be manufactured as near net shape parts in one step without additional welding process
SOLID POWDERMETALLURGICAL STEEL
Efficient utilisation of material, avoidance of critical welding operations and less processing efforts.
GENERAL PROCESS STEPS:
- Design and welding of a steel capsule
- Filling with metal powder
- Evacuation and sealing
- Hot isostatic pressing (HIP)
- Final inspection
- Certification
GENERAL PROPERTIES:
- Maximum abrasion resistance
- Maximum corrosion resistance
- High strength (with no porosity)
- Consistent and fine microstructure
- Cooling channels could be integrated
- No phase segregation
Better Microstructure through HIP
MATERIALS
- Low carbon steels
- Tool steels (HSS,…)
- Stainless steels (duplex, austenitic,…)
- Nickel-base alloys
- Cobalt-base alloys
