When a project requires advanced materials technology, a partnership with Bodycote Hot Isostatic Pressing provides the ideal production route.

Aerospace and defence
Many nickel-based and titanium precision castings for aero engine and structural use are HIPped to remove porosity.

Automotive
Aluminium castings are virtually pore-free after Densal HIPping.

Construction
Safety harnesses incorporate HIPped investment cast steel components for high reliability when working on high structures.

Electrical, telecoms and IT
Precision-cast aluminium casings for computers, avionics and telecommunication equipment may be HIPped to remove porosity and increase strength.

General engineering and hydraulics
Aerospace hydraulic actuator bodies are investment cast from high strength maraging steel and HIPped for best performance.

Mining
Durable, wear-resistant materials can be applied by HIPping to components subject to heavy wear to extend their lives many fold.

Oil and gas / offshore
Parts made by powder metallurgy techniques have completely isotropic and reproducible properties together with shorter delivery times.

Power generation
Most high temperature airfoils in current power-generation gas turbines are HIPped to remove porosity and enhance performance.

Rail
Wear and fatigue of railway wheels is the cause of excessive wear on tracks and increased noise. New HIP developments can eliminate this.

Tooling
Premium quality tool steels may be manufactured by encapsulation and HIP of gas atomised powder.

Water industry
Cast impellers and casings for critical pumping applications are HIPped to improve integrity by eliminating porosity.
