after-hipAfter HIP

  • Aluminum Alloy X-Ray Magnification (100X)
  • Elimination of Micro-Porosity through HIP

HIPing these materials will dramatically remove internal prosity

  • Improve the x-ray standard - HIPing will upgrade your casting (ie Type C becomes Type B
  • Remove internal porosity - collapses internal voids and bonds clean surfaces together
  • Improve property scatter - marked reduction in the statistical spread or scatter, results in improved efficiency of the material utilization
  • Improve mechanical properties - higher strength, higher toughness, longer fatigue, and corrosion resistance, and a longer creep life
  • Reduce, eliminate or recover scrap losses - save the time and cost of remaking your parts
  • Improve machined surface quality - tighter and more uniform grain structure
  • Improve fatigue life (two to twelve times over non-HIPed parts) - improving tensile and mechanical properties increases fatigue life
  • Create high strength bonds - diffusion bonds are equal to substrate material
