Hot Iso static Pressing – (HIP), the simultaneous application of heat and high pressure, has become a standard production process in many industries. In the HIP unit a high temperature furnace is enclosed in a pressure vessel. Work pieces are heated and an inert gas, generally argon, applies uniform pressure. The temperature, pressure and process time are all controlled to achieve the optimum material properties. HIP is widely used in the casting industry to remove the internal porosity generated during the casting process. This results in improved strength, ductility and fatigue life of the casting. The rejection rate is reduced and the mechanical properties of the part are more consistent. Casting alloys that are routinely HIPped include nickel, cobalt, aluminum and titanium.HIP processing reduces scrap and improves yield.HIP maximizes material utilization by improving material properties.

Sheet Metal – Metal Extrusions and Fabrications available throughout Asia and in the USA. ISO Certified and UL Registered.

Design Services These services are available locally and in the Philippines. Design and development capabilities include complete products as well as subsystems. The design engineers work in close coordination with you during the early stages of product development to ensure a seamless transition from design conceptualization to volume manufacturing. Design engineers can also be utilized to refine a product design and suggest alternative materials, to allow for a lower labor and materials costs, faster turnaround time as well as improved product quality.
