The Kittyhawk team was proud to attend the 13th International Conference on Hot Isostatic Pressing to do our part in moving the industry forward. Hosted in Columbus, Ohio and dedicated solely to HIP science and technology—the HIP’22 conference invited a range of experts and industry professionals to gather in order to exchange ideas, present developments, and educate others. A celebration of Hot Isostatic Pressing hosted in the city where the technology was originally invented.
Hot Isostatic Pressing is an important sector of the materials and manufacturing industry. Since the invention of the process, there has been a consistent evolution of development throughout decades. Today, HIP technology is applied in many industry sectors including advanced materials manufacturing, aerospace, automotive, defense, oil and gas, firearms, and medical. It is a critical element of many manufacturing processes.
