Powder Metal Components

HIP Powder Metal (PM) technology has the capability to provide a unique combination of properties for demanding applications. The products are fine grained and 100% dense with properties comparable to the best wrought properties, uniformed in all directions and they are chemically homogeneous. Unlike traditional press and sinter PM technology the HIP process is without die friction forces that limit product size and density. We routinely make 100% dense parts as large as 25,000lbs in weight.

Powder Specification, Purchase and Certification: Bodycote orders powder metals from number of major powder suppliers that have been carefully selected for their quality and competitive pricing. Bodycote then performs chemical analyses, powder cleanliness, and particle size inspections to ensure strict compliance with customer specifications. Frequently customers supply their own powder.

Can Design and Fabrication: Cans are designed and manufactured with careful attention paid to the powder metal being used, the effects of the HIP process, and the final size and shape required. Cans are made from many alloys including low-carbon steel, stainless steel, Inconel, titanium, tantalum and copper. Simple shapes are fabricated from pipe and sheet materials. More complex shapes are fabricated by spinning or hydroforming.

Powder Handling/Loading: Powders are screened and blended to specification. Continuos vibration during loading assures uniform packing density.

Cans - Quality Assurance: Cans are leak check after filling. Can bake-out is performed as required for the specific material being HIPed.

Hot Isostatic Pressing: Bodycote works with your team of engineers to determine optimum HIP parameters. HIP densification is performed according to quality control standards.

Post HIP Procedures: Dimensional measurements are made and the billet or near net shape is finished to conform to specifications. Bodycote can also perform additional tests to measure density, TIP response and mechanical properties. HIP certification attest to temperature and pressure cycle parameters and chemical analysis.
