Quintus Hot Isostatic Press Powers New UK Hot Isostatic Pressing Centre
Summary
Wallwork, the UKs premier independent heat treatment, vacuum brazing, and advanced ultra-hard coatings company, is expanding its thermal processing. The investment is driven by the upsurge in additive manufacturing, where Hot Isostatic Pressing has proven to play a pivotal role in producing components with improved material fatigue properties, ductility, structural integrity, and fracture toughness. The companys Bury location also houses the UKs largest single-site heat treating facility with an aerospace scope, covering nine Nadcap check sheets. "As the industry leader in high pressure for over 70 years, we have seen the need for Hot Isostatic Pressing increase steadily," comments Jan Söderström, CEO of Quintus Technologies. Following the installation of a Hot Isostatic Press from Quintus Technologies in September 2023, the Group inaugurated its HIP Centre at its Bury location, which is also home to the UKs largest single-site heat treating facility with an aerospace scope, covering nine Nadcap check sheets.
