Bodycote is able to offer these benefits to its customers through powder metallurgy (PM) used in HIP product manufacturing. This technology includes both powder metallurgy (PM) and diffusion bonds, either separately or as part of the same manufacturing process. The powders are treated by thermostatic compression to a solid state to form fully dense materials with excellent physical properties, unlike in traditional PM or forging production. This is accomplished either by encapsulating the powder in a diverse sheet metal box to provide the NNS form (HIP, PM, NNS) after HIP treatment, using the same technique modified so that the selected surfaces can be diverse. Alternatively, a simply shaped preform can be made as a starting material for further manufacturing steps. HIP allows the fusion of different materials, either powder or solid, at the atomic level. This process is known as diffusion bonding or metallization. This powder metallurgical bonding process is best suited for the selective combination of top quality materials with more economical materials as well as for high temperature applications where the use of adhesives is not possible. Bodycote provides expert model, design, engineering and quality assurance services to support the needs of its customers in powder metallurgical HIP manufacturing. HIP metallization Diffusion bonding from a solid to a solid or solid powder metallurgical material using encapsulation or thermostatic compression to produce bimetallic portions with excellent material properties. HIP soldering HIP-assisted soldering is the combination of two different materials during the HIP process using a soldering interlayer. Powder Metallurgy - Near Net Shape (NNS) Production of powder metallurgical near-scale components (NNS) from thermostatically pressed metal or composite powders. Powder metallurgy - production of selected shaped surfaces Manufacture of partially NNS-coated powder metallurgy components (PM components) taking into account the specific needs of the customer to eliminate machining. Powder metallurgy - a simple form Production of powder metallurgical (PM), simple shaped components from thermostatically pressed metal, polymer, ceramic or composite powders. Simple forms of PM HIP also include HIP metallization. Print send Ice Legal notice Privacy Availability Sitemap Notifications Company registration Copyright
