Process Window
A traceable cycle combining temperature, pressure, and inert atmosphere
From furnace loading and heat-up under pressure through hold and controlled cooling, every stage affects pore closure, microstructural evolution, and final fatigue performance. Materials, usable-zone requirements, cooling strategies, and batch data should be evaluated together early in the selection process.

HIP Pressure-Temperature-Time Profile
Review how heating, pressurization, holding, and controlled cooling interact throughout a representative cycle.
| Phase | Time | Temperature | Pressure |
|---|---|---|---|
| Load & purge | 0 h | 25°C | 0.1 MPa |
| Heat & pressurize | 2 h | 900°C | 60 MPa |
| Hold | 4 h | 920°C | 100 MPa |
| Controlled cooling | 6 h | 420°C | 80 MPa |
| Depressurize & unload | 8 h | 80°C | 0.1 MPa |
This illustrative cycle shows the expected data structure only. Final parameters must be validated for the material, load configuration, usable zone, equipment design, and applicable customer standards.
Equipment Architecture
Pressure-vessel and usable-zone architecture
See how the pressure vessel, usable zone, loading envelope, and production-line interfaces fit together.
Core Equipment
Wire-wound pressure vessel with a configurable usable zone
The wire-wound structure transfers pressure loads into high-strength steel wire layers and is engineered for sustained operation up to 200 MPa. Usable-zone diameters can scale from Ø100 mm laboratory systems to Ø2000 mm production platforms, with the vessel envelope and process interfaces configured for the application and facility.
