Hot Isostatic Pressing for Large-Scale Components

Hot Isostatic Pressing (HIP) has been known and used successfully for more than sixty years.  Many components for aerospace applications and oil and gas industry, to name a few, are being made by this process – making metal powder by atomization and consolidation of powder by hot isostatic pressing.  
Traditionally, the large-scale components were made by forging or casting.  Production capacities of these operations have decreased over recent years and US industry will be unable to meet increasing demand from the key industry sectors for the large-scale components.  On the other hand, the progress in additive manufacturing and materials modeling provides new opportunities for designing more complex shapes and more efficient manufacturing of the containers for HIP parts.  These conditions create a new opportunity for HIP technology to fill a capacity gap and provide an advanced method for manufacture of the large-scale near-net-shape components.

The prospective authors are encouraged to submit abstracts, which will provide a critical review of the current state of the HIP process, industrial needs for the large-scale components and initiatives to enhance cost competitiveness through hybrid manufacturing processes and leveraging advanced materials modeling, machine learning, and process automation.
