What is WIP technology?

Warm Isostatic Pressing (WIP) is a manufacturing process that uses isostatic pressure up to 6000 bar to compress powdered materials into solid form. It is similar to CIP, except that it uses higher temperatures, around 200ºC but not as high as HIP. This process can be used to manufacture a wide variety of products, such as polymeric components, metallic or ceramic parts.

WIP uses flexible materials as the mold and hydraulic pressure as the pressure medium to shape and press the powdered material. Depending on the applications and materials being processed, it can be water or oil. In the process, the liquid is first heated and then injected into a sealed pressing cylinder through a pressure source.

It is a versatile process that can be applied in different industries.

WIP TECHNOLOGIES APPLICATIONS

Aerospace

It is used to manufacture critical components that require high strength and durability, such as engine parts and aircraft structures.

Automotive

Assists in the production of high precision and high strength parts, such as engine components and transmission systems

Medicine

It is crucial in the manufacture of implants and medical devices, ensuring that they are biocompatible and durable.

Defense

It is used to produce high-strength components used in military and defense equipment.

Energy

Used in the production of components for turbines and other equipment requiring high resistance to temperature and pressure

Solid State Batteries

These are batteries with an advanced energy storage technology that uses solid electrodes and electrolytes instead of liquids or polymers found in conventional lithium-ion batteries. These batteries have a higher density and have a number of advantages over conventional batteries: higher capacity, greater safety, longer life and higher efficiency.

WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES OF WIP?

Improves density

Uniform heat facilitates the compaction of materials to eliminate porosity, thus improving the density of the material

Mechanical properties

Improves the mechanical properties of the material making it more resistant and durable

Specialized applications:

It is the ideal technique for materials that cannot withstand high temperatures such as HIP.

Lower consumption

As it requires lower temperature than HIP, it is more economical.
