Hermitage, Pennsylvania – With the escalation of additive manufactured components being printed, and the increased production of engine blade manufacturing to support newer, more efficient aircraft, hot isostatic pressing (HIPing) is in greater demand for densification of many materials.
Throughout the years, Solar Atmospheres and Pressure Technology Inc. (PTI) have mutually understood their two companies’ complementary synergies. As an added value service, parts that require heat treat processing after HIP will be picked up by Solar from the PTI Concord, Ohio, facility at no charge.
Michael Johnson, sales manager for Solar’s Hermitage, Pennsylvania, facility, states, “As both vacuum heat treating and HIPing are gaining popularity, by providing the customer with both state-of-the-art services as one, we can offer quicker turnaround time and savings on shipping costs.”
