The 14th International Conference on Hot Isostatic Pressing will take place from 6 – 10 April 2025 in Aachen, Germany
Hot isostatic pressing (HIP) is crucial in manufacturing high-performance materials, including metallic alloys and ceramics. HIP impacts product design, lead time, quality, and performance across industries like aerospace, energy, offshore, medical, and tooling. It offers flexibility in component design by enabling near-net-shape components, bimetal construction, and composite materials, and can process various part sizes and alloys.
HIP enhances quality and performance by producing homogeneous materials without segregation and fine anisotropic microstructures, improving properties such as toughness and fatigue strength. As a post-processing technique, HIP closes voids and pores, reducing machining and nondestructive testing costs, and shortens production lead times. Advances in HIP technology can bolster the competitiveness of companies in emerging industrial sectors.
The conference will cover comprehensive research and developments in HIP technology, including process development, materials technology, application improvements, and new equipment. It will feature a technical program with presentations, a poster show, and an exhibition showcasing the latest trends. Topics include materials engineering, HIP equipment advances, applications in various sectors, additive manufacturing, modeling, sustainability, advanced ceramics, automotive applications, certification, and heat treatment using HIP.
