Sinter and SinterHIP sintering
Sintering (Sintering) and High Temperature Isostatic Pressure Sintering (SinterHIP) are advanced technological processes used in the processing of materials such as metallic powders, ceramics and other powder materials. Their goal is to create dense, durable components with the required mechanical and physical properties. Both techniques are widely used in the aerospace, automotive, medical and cutting tool industries.
Sintering
Sintering is a process in which powder particles fuse together when exposed to high temperatures, but below the melting point of the main component. It is a non-pressurized process that takes place in a controlled atmosphere or vacuum.

How does sintering work?
Preparation of powder
The material powder is formed into preforms by pressing.
Sintering
The molds are heated in a sintering furnace at temperatures typically between 60% and 90% of the material's melting point.
Result
The powder particles combine, reducing porosity and increasing the density of the component.
Applications
- Production of cutting tools (carbide).
- Mechanical components with complex shapes.
- Technical ceramics (e.g., insulators, biomedical materials).
Advantages of sintering
- Ability to manufacture parts with complex shapes.
- Less material consumption compared to classic casting.
- High material homogeneity.
Sintering (Sintering) and High Temperature Isostatic Pressure Sintering (SinterHIP) are advanced technological processes.
HIP sintering (SinterHIP).
SinterHIP is a combination of classical sintering with the process of high-temperature isostatic pressing (HIP - Hot Isostatic Pressing). The process takes place in an atmosphere of inert gas (e.g. argon), where high temperature and isostatic pressure act on the material simultaneously.
How does SinterHIP work?
- Pre-sintering: the material is pre-sintered to form a porous semi-finished product.
-
HIP: The semi-finished product enters the HIP chamber, where:
A pressure of 100-300 MPa is applied.
The temperature is close to that of classical sintering (1000-2000°C).
Inert gas carries the isostatic pressure, eliminating porosity and increasing density. - The result: the final product has full density, excellent uniformity and high strength.

SinterHIP Applications
- Manufacturing aircraft parts such as turbine blades and jet engine components.
- Carbide cutting tools with improved durability.
- Components for the energy industry, such as heat exchangers.
- Medical implants and prosthetic components.
Advantages of SinterHIP
- Eliminate porosity and increase material strength.
- High resistance to fatigue and corrosion.
- Excellent structural uniformity, especially in large components.
When to choose SinterHIP?
The SinterHIP process is preferred when maximum material strength and reliability are required, such as in:
- Components working in extreme conditions (high pressures, temperatures).
- Industries that require excellent quality and durability, such as aviation, medicine and energy.
