Title: HIP. process for castings, etc.
Post by: roverman on July 14, 2010, 08:18:46 PM
Anyone use this process? "Hi Intensity Pressure", as in 15,000 psi @ 970F with nitrogen or argon as the inert gas. Squeezes aluminum castings to the density of billet. Cast crankshafts?  Bimetal, reinforced castings ? Great for shrinking things. Anyone ?  roverman.
