Hot isostatic pressing (HIP)

...systems will make process economical for a wider range of components. Pressures vary from 50 to 200 MPa, and temperatures up to 2000˚C with control to ±15˚C possible. Temperature depends on material, but should be high enough to cause diffusion-bonding and low enough to avoid any undesirable structural changes. Typical examples are Ti-6Al-4V, 900˚C; Al-7.5Si-0.5Mg,...
