Our technicians calibrate computer-controlled HIPing machinery to specific parameters. Next, they harness powerful, elemental forces — heat, pressure, and time — with a precision that ultimately yields a finished product of exacting standards: improved and strengthened by science.
The hot isostatic pressing (HIP) process is a cost-effective method of fabrication that uses gas as the pressure-transmitting medium. This is one of the distinguishing factors of HIPing; the pressure is applied and forces the material to undergo equivalent, three-dimensional transformations. The heat and pressure make for a fully dense end product across simultaneous applications.

HIPing works on ceramics, aluminum, magnesium, copper alloys, nickel/cobalt superalloys, tungsten titanium carbide, cast and powders, steel casting, magnetic materials, plasma spray coatings, and more.
Our furnaces are contained within a vessel pressurized with an inert gas: argon, a noble gas, and one of the most abundant gases in the Earth’s atmosphere.

The uniform pressure and elevated temperature allow for densification, eliminating product defects while simultaneously improving the product’s mechanical properties.
