Sinter-HIP Technology

Hot Isostatic Pressure (HIP) sintering combines the processes of vacuum sintering and HIP furnacing into one. The results speak for themselves. Sinter-HIP processing produces carbide that better resists wear, reduces or eliminates porosity, increases tool integrity, and improves transverse rupture strength.

Raw Material Engineering and Testing

It all starts here, where raw materials combine to produce the highest quality tungsten carbide powder in the industry. Every new material mix is rigorously tested in our on-site laboratory before it is approved for production. This ensures that the high quality of our products is never compromised.
