Why should you work with us?

Benefit from our comprehensive core competencies
    PM/HIP technology offers many advantages, such as the fine and isotropic material structure, complex capsule construction possible, efficient use of resources, thanks to near-net-shape capsule construction, machining effort is reduced enormously, very large selection of different alloys, composite materials can be produced, short delivery times, individual part production, with metal 3D printing, we can produce very complex capsules, simulation before and after the HIP process

How does the PM | HIP procedure?

The result is a significant improvement in your component properties!
Powder metallurgy deals with the production of metal powders and their further processing. With the combination of PM and HIP, a powder is filled into a welded capsule. The capsule is welded as close to the final shape as possible to enable optimal use of the raw material "powder" and to work resource-efficiently. After filling, the capsule is closed under vacuum and recompacted by the HIP - Hot Isostatic Pressing process into a component that is used for further processing of the finished part. When components are HIP treated, the simultaneous application of heat and pressure eliminates internal voids and micro-porosities through a combination of plastic deformation, flow and diffusion bonding of the material. The powder is thus compacted into a solid.

Advantages of the process for your products

The PM | HIP offers you the following advantages:

  • Optimum use of the raw material due to the near net shape blank after the HIP process
  • No round steel needs to be laboriously processed
  • Mechanical processing is reduced to a minimum
  • High availability of different powders with better properties
  • Blanks can be produced from a material that is only available in powder form
  • Significantly reduced use of raw material

What powder materials are available?

  • Stainless steels
  • Tool steels
  • High-speed steels
  • Ni-based alloys
  • Co-based alloys


Other powders can also be produced on request. We maintain a close partnership with various powder manufacturers who, in addition to large quantities, can also supply small quantities for prototypes and special alloys.
