Bodycote Hot Isostatic Pressing (HIP) Ltd

Hot Isostatic Pressing (HIP) is used to eliminate porosity in castings and consolidate powder metallurgy materials into fully dense near-net-shape components with superior material properties. Furthermore, dissimilar materials can be mixed or bonded together to manufacture unique, cost-effective parts. HIP technology allows engineers to optimise component design and manufacture, whilst simultaneously improving microstructural homogeneity and material properties. Bodycote operates a global HIP business with the largest equipment network in the world. Having established HIP expertise over decades, Bodycote has over 50 HIP vessels of varying sizes in multiple locations and is able to accommodate large volumes of small product as economically as large individual components.
