New Technology Introduction of the HIP Equipment

Abstract

HIP is a technology to simultaneously apply high pressures and temperatures to processed products by gas. HIP equipment applying HIP technology is used as an indispensable technology for densification of sintered products, removal of pores in casting and diffusion bonding of dissimilar materials.

In this article, we will explain the history of the development of HIP equipment in Japan, then the introduction of new technology of the rapid cooling method and the HIP equipment with enhanced gas recovery capacity, aiming at productivity improvements of the HIP process, both of which were newly developed by our company.
