Data Sheet - State of the Art Heat Treatment Capability – QIH 60

Traditional additive manufacturing production involves a large number of process steps. The High Pressure Heat Treatment capability of the QIH 60 is at the heart of LEAN production lines for Additive Manufacturing. Several unit operations can be removed and incorporated with a modern HIP system equipped with uniform rapid cooling or uniform quench cooling. High Pressure Heat Treatment (HPHT) removes bottlenecks in the AM production line by combining HIP and Heat Treatment cycles.
