HOT ISOSTATIC PRESSING & Powder Metallurgy for Your Application

Hot isostatic pressing (HIP) and powder metallurgy (PM/HIP) are ideally suited to highly regulated industries with strict requirements regarding material quality, documentation and reproducibility.

OWL GmbH supports OEMs and suppliers in the aerospace, motorsport, mechanical engineering and medical technology sectors – from prototype development through to series production.

Aerospace

Our processes are certified to EN 9100:2018 to meet the requirements of the aerospace industry. From goods receipt to dispatch, we place great emphasis on providing excellent service whilst adhering to high quality standards.

  • Certifications according to AS/EN 9100 & ISO 9001

  • Ideal for engine components and structural parts
  • Ideal for all components subject to high quality standards

Motorsport

To meet the demands of motorsport, we have optimised all our processes to ensure fast turnaround times. This includes engineering and redesign, 3D metal printing, HIP (hot isostatic pressing) and subsequent machining.

  • Express HIP for short-notice slots
  • Resistance to thermal and mechanical alternating load
  • Documented quality, even for one-off production

Mechanical Engineering

In general mechanical engineering, PM/HIP enables the cost-effective production of near-net-shape components with reduced machining. Typical applications include pressure-bearing housings, functional components and PM blanks with a defined microstructure.

  • Cost reduction through material savings
  • Ideal for robust components with complex geometries
  • Density and mechanical properties comparable to those of forged parts
  • Process control suitable for series production

Medical Technology

In order to meet the specific requirements of the medical technology sector, with a particular focus on implants, we conduct regular staff training sessions in addition to adhering to our general quality standards. The handling of goods, their traceability and the monitoring of our processes are all standard practice for us.

  • Process documentation in accordance with medical standards
  • Certificate of Confirmity
  • Validated HIP cycles and test methods
  • 100% Traceability
