HIP brazing bonds dissimilar materials using a brazing interlayer under high temperature and pressure to produce porosity-free joints with high integrity.
Allows combination of materials that cannot be joined by conventional brazing to produce multi material components with superior mechanical properties.
Used for extruder screws, heavy duty truck parts and high temperature turbine components requiring wear and heat resistant joints.
What we do
HIP brazing
Joining of two incompatible materials by the HIP process with the use of a brazing interlayer.
Benefits of HIP brazing
- Enables bonding of materials with no solid state solubility
- Allows the design engineer to combine very different material properties in close proximity
- Produces bond lines free from porosity with good mechanical properties
- Creates joints superior to conventional brazing.
Application & materials
Examples of components manufactured by HIP-assisted brazing techniques include:
- Extruder screws for granulation of plastic and pharmaceutical materials
- Heavy truck and automotive parts, e.g. valve lifters and brake pads
- Components, such as heat shields and turbine disks, where HIP brazing produces parts with increased performance at higher operating temperatures.
Materials utilised include metals and cermets.
HIP brazing process details
HIP-assisted brazing utilises the technology of encapsulation and HIP to achieve superior braze properties when needed.
