Hot isostatic press Avure Technologies AB
Hot Isostatic Pressing (HIP) is a process that uniquely combines pressure and temperature to produce materials and parts with substantially better properties than other methods. The pressure medium is an inert gas, normaly Argon. Low temperature and high isostatic pressure, up to 300 MPa (3000 bar/44,000 psi), yield better controlled grain growth and structure as well as isotropic properties, which result in the superior performance characteristics typical for HIP'ed parts.
HIP applications include defect healing of castings, consolidation of metal powder (pre-form and near-net shaped parts), consolidation of ceramic powders, and sintering of diamond tools.
Avure Technologies Isostatic presses are widely recognized as the leading brand in the world. This is due to the Company's technological superiority in a number of areas, particularly in the institutional knowledge related to engineering, design, manufacturing and the application of high pressure. The first QUINTUS ® isostatic press was delivered in 1965.
AVURE offers a full line of standard models of Hot Isostatic Presses for medium and large scale production or models can also be custom configured to meet your needs. These presses are available with furnace diameters of up to 2 m (6.5 feet) for pressures ranging from 40 to 300 MPa (400 - 3,000 bar/6,000 - 44,000 psi) and temperatures from 500 to 3,000 °C (900-5400 °F).
