Introduction[edit | edit source]
This page describes the proper practices when utilizing the Hot Isostatic Pressing (HIP) and Cold Isostatic Pressing (CIP) at Michigan Technological University.
Isostatic pressing is a manufacturing technique commonly use to reduce porosity in metals / polymers and increase the density of certain ceramic materials. Hot isostatic pressing (HIP) occurs at elevated temperatures in an inert atmosphere, while cold isostatic pressing (CIP) occurs at ambient temperatures in a fluid.
