Hot isostatic pressing (HIP)<\/strong> is a manufacturing process used to eliminate porosity in metals and increase the density of many materials. This improves the material\u2019s mechanical properties (fatigue strength, ductility, impact resistance) and machinability; in other words, the HIP process significantly enhances the safety of the component.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div> When components are treated using the HIP process, the simultaneous application of heat and pressure eliminates internal voids and micro-porosities through a combination of plastic deformation, creep and diffusion bonding of the material. The HIP process is used to significantly improve the technical properties of, for example, castings, additively manufactured products, tools, motorsport components and aerospace components.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div> In the HIP process, components are subjected to temperatures of up to 1350 \u00b0C and pressures of up to 2000 bar. This combination of processes closes internal pores.
