For both internal and external customers, Crucible's laboratory HIP unit is employed in development of new alloys, consolidation procedures, HIP bond products, and other materials in which the unique advantages of prealloyed spherical powders can be exploited in a fully-dense, fine-microstructure component.
Crucible's HIP vessel has a working zone of 7.25" diameter x 13" tall. Temperatures to 2430°F and pressures to 28ksi, with custom time/temperature/pressure profiles allow experimentation with a wide range of parameters and consolidation of a broad spectrum of material compositions.
Crucible can also design, manufacture, clean, load, and outgas canisters for HIP from simple blocks to allow material properties testing to complex, near-net shape parts that minimize machining or permit accurate placement of internal features not accessible by traditional means.
