What Does HIP Stand For?
HIP stands for Hot Isostatic Pressing
Hot Isostatic Pressing (HIP) is a manufacturing process that applies high temperature and pressure uniformly to materials, typically metals and ceramics, to enhance their mechanical properties. By eliminating porosity and improving microstructural uniformity, HIP promotes greater strength, ductility, and overall performance of components. This process is widely utilized in industries such as aerospace, automotive, and medical for producing high-reliability parts with complex geometries.
