ABOUT OUR PRODUCT
A cost-effective & high-quality solution for demanding applications
We’re constantly pushing the boundaries to find new solutions to support our customers, and most products we manufacture are bespoke.
Our process uses metallic powders formed within a metal mold and consolidated using a process called HIP (Hot Isostatic pressing). High temperature and pressure are applied to the product using an inert gas, which is applied uniformly in all directions to provide the part with isotropic properties. The process offers many benefits and has become a high-performance alternative to conventional metal forming and manufacturing processes such as casting, forging, and sintering.
It’s possible to manufacture bimetallic or composite products by layering metal powders and adding material to solid conventionally manufactured metal parts. Performance advantages can be gained by exploiting the different properties of the materials used.
We can manufacture near-net-shape products to increase material usage, reduce waste, reduce machining and welding, save CO2, and make parts more sustainable and cost-effective. Simple shapes such as round, tubular, or flat bars can also be manufactured for further processing, machining, rolling, and forging.
The advantages of powder metallurgy/HIP
High performance
Excellent mechanical properties High Temp performance.
High precision
Near Net shape design for manufacture reduced losses and further processing.
Lower CO2 emissions
PM parts have 85% lower CO2 emissions than traditional manufacturing methods. Better material utilisation and near-net shape capability reduces waste and contributes to a more sustainable product.
Better yield
Yields improve by greater than 80% in comparison to traditional manufacturing methods. Near Net shape promotes improved yields and reduces the need for secondary processes and machining.
Fast turnarounds
Significantly reduced lead time in comparison.
Sustainability
Reduced carbon footprint by increasing material yields and reducing waste.
THE FUTURE OF METALLURGY
Near-net shape PM-HIP uses far less material to produce products than conventional casting and forging
