CM-HIP-1520 Hot Isostatic Press Furnace with 1500°C Max Temperature and 20 MPa Pressure, Ø80×130 mm Heating Area
The CM-HIP-1520 is engineered to perform hot isostatic pressing (HIP) processes, particularly suited for additive manufacturing applications requiring high temperature and pressure to enhance material properties. This furnace enables uniform densification and elimination of internal porosity by applying isostatic gas pressure combined with elevated temperatures within a controlled argon atmosphere.
The system features a molybdenum resistance heating coil embedded within an alumina thermal insulation jacket sheathed by a molybdenum jacket, providing a stable heating zone of 80 mm diameter and 130 mm height. It supports sample sizes up to 60 mm diameter and 60 mm height. The pressure vessel is constructed from double-layered SS 304 stainless steel with water cooling, designed to safely contain pressures up to 25 MPa, with operational pressure capped at 20 MPa.
Key Features
- Maximum operating temperature of 1500°C for up to 8 hours, with continuous operation at 1400°C.
- Pressure capability up to 20 MPa using argon gas as the working medium.
- Embedded molybdenum resistance heating elements for efficient high-temperature operation.
- Digital 50-segment programmable temperature controller with ±1°C accuracy and B-type thermocouple sensor.
- SS 304 double-layer water-cooled pressure vessel with mechanical and solenoid pressure relief valves for safety.
- Touchscreen panel integrating temperature and pressure controls with RS-485 communication for remote monitoring.
- Optional accessories include manual or electric chain hoist, vacuum pump, water chiller, gas booster, and air compressor to support various process requirements.
