Solar Atmospheres, Hermitage, Pa., announces that it now partners with Pressure Technology Inc. (PTI), Concord, Ohio, to provide heat treating of aircraft parts after they have been hot isostatically pressed to high density at the PTI facility. With the escalation of additively manufactured components being printed, and the increased production of engine blade manufacturing to support newer more efficient aircraft, hot isostatic pressing (HIPing) is in more demand for the densification of many materials.
Over the years, Solar Atmospheres and PTI have understood the complementary synergies between the two companies. As an added value service, parts that require heat treat processing after HIP will be picked up by Solar from the PTI facility at no charge.
According to Michael Johnson, Sales Manager for Solar’s Hermitage facility, “As both vacuum heat treating and HIPing are gaining popularity, by providing the customer with both state-of-the-art services as one, we can offer quicker turnaround time and savings on shipping costs.”
