[17C-T4-06] Optimisation of Metal Powder Degassing Using Remote Plasma Optical Emission Spectroscopy
キーワード：HIP, Degas, Monitoring, Endpoint
Degassing of HIP canisters is a critical step in the manufacture of powder hot isostatic pressed components. This stage of the process enables high quality components to be produced by preventing the retention of atmospheric contaminants such as oxygen, nitrogen, hydrogen and argon which are responsible for defects leading to poor material performance. Gencoa Optix is a gas sensing instrument that can be utilised to monitor the level of contaminant gases such as water vapour, nitrogen, oxygen etc. Optix requires no additional pumping or sampling equipment, and can operate throughout the entire degassing process.
Outgassing of canisters can take up to several days to complete. However, the introduction of Optix can save a considerable amount of time through monitoring of the degassing process. Optix detects and notifies users when degas is complete, based on the residual gas analysis to shorten processing times for HIPed parts, whilst ensuring quality and traceability.
