This paper examines design considerations for large hot isostatic pressing systems, indicating their role in enhancing safety and supporting local supply chains.
Hot isostatic pressing (HIP) has been used to consolidate powder for various industries for many years. It is a well-established production method globally, but newly discussed investments involve larger units than currently in operation. Certain factors are key in developing large HIP systems: enhanced safety, reduced weight and footprint, and safe material handling. This paper will present design considerations of large HIP systems for the powder metallurgy industry. It will also discuss how near-net-shape manufacturing of large components via HIP aids key local industries in sustaining supply chains.
