Isostatic Presses
Isostatic pressing is a forming and densification process using liquid or gas under very high pressure. Unlike mechanical force which compresses a work piece from one or two sides, isostatic pressure is applied uniformly on all sides of an object, eliminating or reducing internal porosity without changing its net shape.
Cold Isostatic Presses, CIP, is used to add green strength to preformed metal, ceramic or composite parts, and for consolidation of containerized powder shapes.
Part processed by Hot Isostatic Pressing, HIP, achieve 100% of maximum theoretical density, with significant enhancement of performance properties such as resistance to fatigue, impact, wear and abrasion. Ductility is improved and internal defects are healed.
Avure is recognized around the world as the leader in high pressure processing equipment. Our isostatic presses are designed to maximize safety and reliability while offering the most advanced technical solutions and the widest range of operating parameters. All Avure presses are designed to be CE marked and to meet PED, the European Pressure Equipment Directive, or the ASME Section VIII, Division 3 code requirements (the American Society of Mechanical Engineers).
Whether you are responsible for part production or general materials research, Avure has an isostatic press that will fit your requirements and provide decades of economical service.
The Avure product line includes:
• Cold isostatic presses (CIP) utilizing liquid pressure media to consolidate containerized powder shapes
• Hot isostatic presses (HIP) utilizing pressurized heated gas for consolidation, densification, or bonding of high performance components and materials
• Isostatic laminating presses for the production of multi-layer electronic packages
• High temperature thermocouples for use in hot isostatic presses and other extreme temperature applications
• Upgrade or retrofit of your existing pressurization system, furnace, controls, cooling, electrical or hydraulic systems make older presses operate like new. That is one reason why the majority of our presses sold since the 1960s are still in operation.
