MAIN BENEFITS OF USING HIP IN THE AUTOMOTIVE SECTOR

For the automotive sector, the use of Hiperbaric's HIP technology provides multiple benefits, such as the following:

Improves material properties and performance

  • Increases the mechanical properties of the parts.
  • Improves fatigue life in high performance materials.

Reaches 100% of the theoretical density of the parts

  • Densifies porosities and eliminates possible internal defects, provided by certain techniques such as Additive Manufacturing (AM).
  • Gives greater statistical consistency to high performance materials.

The quality standard in the automotive industry is the CQI-9, which focuses on continuous improvement in the heat treatment processes carried out. This standard was published by the American Automobile Association (AIAG - Automotive Industry Action Group). This is not a standard in itself, but a self-evaluation that must be carried out at least once a year in order to prevent defects and reduce waste in the supply chain.
