Powdered Metal Processes - Isostatically Pressed Sintering

Isostatic pressing is generally used to produce large powdered metal (PM) parts to near-net shapes of varied complexity. Unlike conventional powdered metal forming, in which the powder is compacted through direct contact with tooling, isostatic pressing confines the metal powder within a flexible membrane or hermetic container which acts as a pressure barrier between the powder and the pressurizing medium, liquid or gas, that surrounds it. The use of this pressurizing system ensures a uniform compaction pressure throughout the powder mass and a homogeneous density distribution in the final product.

Typical Isostatically Pressed Products — cutting tools, automotive cylinder liners (CIP), aircraft and marine gas turbine components, corrosion resistant components for petrochemical equipment and nuclear reactors, medical implants
