This is Hot Isostatic Pressing

With quality and productivity in focus

For more than 70 years Quintus Technologies has led the industry in advanced Hot Isostatic Pressing (HIP) technology. Customers rely on us for the superior engineering that results in highly reliable HIP systems that operate around the clock with service lives of tens of thousands of cycles.

Fast, precise and cost-effective

HIP is used to form and densify containerized powder shapes and containerless metal, ceramic and plastic parts. With typical pressures from 1,035 to 2,070 bar (15,000 to 30,000 psi) and temperatures up to 2,000°C (4,000°F), HIP can achieve 100% of maximum theoretical density and improve the ductility and fatigue resistance of critical, high-performance materials. The components are often of net shape or near net shape configuration.

A proven process for high-performance parts

Common applications for HIP include defect healing of castings, consolidation of powder metal and ceramic parts or diffusion bonding.

“Bodycote has collaborated with Quintus Technologies for many years to design and build high-efficiency HIP systems. We have worked out the specification for our P/M steel HIP system with their specialists to give us the best solution for our specific needs.”

Nils-Bertil Gustavsson, Former President of HIP operations, Bodycote
