State of the Art in HIP today is the HPHT (High Pressure Heat Treatment) capability as developed to integrate in-situ heat treatment processes with the HIP process, removing waste time and equipment from the processes route. The HPHT capability is built up from several distinct parts of hardware, software and disruptive process route thinking, where each individual part can be used for different solutions depending on material system and components size and shapes. The aim of this presentation is to show some of the new capabilities today available to the advanced, technical ceramics manufacturing society, capabilities such as “Clean HIP” for a controlled process atmosphere, “Steered cooling” making it possible to do CFD-FEM calculations to find cooling rates necessary to facilitate fast, consistent cooling segments for increased HIP productivity and quality, and/or a material/component purpose cooling rate and more.
