molybdenum-99 production.[2]
The HIP process subjects a component to both elevated temperature and
mild steel, or other metals can be chosen depending on the desired redox conditions. The chamber is heated, causing the pressure
inside the vessel to increase. Many systems use associated gas pumping to achieve the necessary pressure level. Pressure is applied to the material from all directions (hence the term "isostatic").
For processing
microshrinkage, the consolidation of powder metals, ceramic composites and metal cladding. Hot isostatic pressing is thus also used as part of a sintering (powder metallurgy) process and for fabrication of metal matrix composites,[3]
often being used for postprocessing in additive manufacturing.[4]
