HIP Heat Treatment

For You On The Path To Success With Pressure And Heat

HIP – Turning Good Things Into The Best Of Their Kind

If only the best is good enough, it all comes down to the fine details. We understand this better than most. Hot isostatic pressing (HIP) change the core of materials and massively improve their mechanical properties by reducing pores in the material.

In Hinwil, we operate the most state-of-the-art HIP facility in Switzerland and help you get the most out of your products with HIP Processing.

Benefits Of Hot Isostatic Pressing At Sauber Technologies

Customised material properties and heat treatments

Improved quality by reducing pores

Maximum process stability

Improved mechanical properties

Reduced tension of AM components

Fast and efficient production

High reliability

Longer and predictable service life

HIP, heat treatment & post-processing

No limits is also our aspiration. With our state-of-the-art HIP system and the right post-processing, we are able to significantly reduce the HIP cycle time whilst also increasing productivity – with parallel heat treatment. The result is a reduction in energy consumption and costs. Correct post-processing is crucial for productivity and efficiency in the HIP cycle, and subsequently increases the quality of the component. Quality control is our top priority throughout the entire HIP cycle.

Tried-and-tested procedure

Not just tried-and-tested, but outstanding. Hot isostatic pressing is an excellent procedure for enhancing additively manufactured parts. Defects in AM components are eliminated through sophisticated hot isostatic pressing, which greatly improves the mechanical properties of a product. The process is also used for diffusion welding of various metals and alloys and for compaction of titanium powders.

Use in air and space travel

High-tech sectors such as the aerospace industry often use HIP to reinforce and enhance the material properties of titanium and other superalloys. HIP is the standard procedure for ensuring that turbine blades in aircraft engines have a longer and predictable service life. We have mastered this methodology, which will make your project one of the highest in its class.

for legends

There are only two original Ferrari 340 America Barchetta in the world. In one of these legendary vehicles, the rear axle transmission broke. We had the pleasure of manufacturing the necessary spare part for our customer using metal 3D printing in AlSi10Mg and our internal mechanical production system, allowing the legend to take to the road and the racetrack once again.
